Well...

This is the first I've heard of Charlie Sheen...he may not be doing a great service by speaking out, and yes, his commentary on the planes is taking it a little bit too far.

In actuality, from what I have read, no one is saying that the US Government committed the actions. There is no question that Al Qaeda was responsible.

The problem, whether you are a conspiracy theorist or not, is that a lot of WEIRD stuff happened on and around 9/11. For example, research has revealed that a lot of people who were investors in American Airlines put a ton of money into the Futures a few days before 9/11, almost as if they knew that something was going to happen that would make them super rich. If you read Richard Clarke or other experts on the subject, they will also tell you that there were very bizarre lags in the time it took to ground all aircraft. Many people also disagree with the fact that the entire Bin Laden clan was able to fly out of the US shortly after 9/11, while all other aircraft were still grounded. And then of course, there is the fact the fact that even though 99% of the hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, George Bush had Prince Bandar over to the White House on September 13, 2001. These are the kinds of odd facts that some people think should be explored a bit further to see why they happened.

It's also worth noting, just from a historical standpoint, that US Presidents have risked many lives in the past because they wanted to spark a war for political reasons. Check out the beginning of the Mexican American War. There were lots of reasons why folks like Henry David Thoreau were protesting that war.
