Why wouldn't your government do this? I'll reference to Call of Duty, maybe some people might see a little sense. In MW2, Shepherd says that what he is doing, killing innocent people, will in turn make thousands of Patriots. It gives people a reason to join the army and to back the government. People unite as one.
Same as this. USA needed some way to get into Iraq. Why Iraq? Because of Oil. Look at how much Oil Iraq has. If they start their war on terror in one country, they can then claim that another country is harbouring the Taliban and Al Queda. Motive right there. Now the government need a how, as in how to get there. They can't just invade. People will ask questions and other countries would too, meaning USA wouldn't be liked. So what better way than to fake a terrorist attack. This means that the government has it's reason to go into Iraq. The war on Terror. Claim Iraq is holding WMD's, people won't ask questions due to fear that if they don't go into Iraq, they could be Nuked, or gassed. Unfortunately, 3000 peoples lives are nothing to the government compared to the billions of dollars they can make in oil. Now some of you won't believe that and think that no way would the government kill their own people who they are supposed to protect. I can assure you, they would. I bet some Special Ops and Spies have been abandoned by your government, and frankly probably by the British Government, too. These are the things that keep your countries running how they are. How your country hasn't ran out of Oil. If you saw everything your government did, you would be sickened, but unless you get into high clearance levels you will never know.
Just open your ****ing eyes and realise that your government isn't anything like you think it is, and that there is no way in hell they would kill 0.01% of their people for billions of dollars worth of oil. It's people like you that keep your government running to get away with things like this.
