In this work I aim to present and refute the 9/11 conspiracy theories, as well as to explain why people find these theories seductive. With this paper, I attempt to warn Hungarians that blaming some conspiracy within the U.S. government “for the horrific attacks of September 11 mars the memories of all those lost on that day” (Dunbar and Reagan xiv) and the memories of all the Hungarian soldiers who gave their life to the American cause in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is not possible to tell anyone what they should believe, but I hope that with this work I can, at least, encourage people to look at both the conspiracy theories and the official story and decide for themselves whether or not 9/11 was an inside job. As for me, I do not believe that the U.S. government either made or let the attacks happen on purpose. I believe that these theories are false not only because I want to honor the memories of our compatriots, but also because real evidence suggests that on September 11, 2001 America was attacked by terrorists and not by Americans.
