Interesting ... but how come these modern "more aluminum, less steel" airliners were able to penetrate the heavy exterior, structural steel skeleton of the towers? Based on your logic that shouldn't be possible?... Right?
Or perhaps there's a lot about engineering and physics you don't know?
You say in a previous reply "I'm not repeating anything without having first confirmed it for myself. I have researched this, as well as simply using common sense looking at the videos..."
How did you
confirm the steel didn't melt? You took some samples of the steel, right? Or no?
How did you
confirm there were planted explosives? You interviewed people who were there? ...and did chemical and other physical analysis of the debris, right? Or no?
How did you
confirm WTC7 wasn't badly damaged due to the falling debris? How you know for sure that WTC7 was intentionally brought down? Surely, not from the videos, because in all of them (at least all I've seen) WTC7's collapse is somewhat obscured. Do you have hi-res, unobstructed, clear video of WTC7 collapsing? Or no?
On an aside, are you familiar with Occam's Razor?

In light of that, the official explanation for collapse of towers 1, 2, and 7, as much as one may not want to believe it, is mostly likely the correct one.
As for whether the U.S. government knew an attack was imminent and allowed it to happen is another matter - it's possible the U.S. government did (there is much precedence for that, including Pearl Harbor), but that still doesn't mean anyone intentionally brought down the towers - no need, just the sight of airliners crashing into them would be enough justification for the Iraq war, the PATRIOT Act, creation of Homeland Security, etc.
In summery, often the truth is the middle - did the U.S. government allow the attacks to happen, very possibly ... but were towers 1, 2, and 7 intentionally demolished, most likely not. Again, Occam's Razor comes to mind.
