I admit I haven't kept up with developments these past 20 years, but I feel like part of why there may have been so many conspiracies also is that even more than just the racism - although that was a huge part of it - is the fact that, like, the plan loving sucked. If I was some authority figure in al-Qaeda and my underlings came to me with the 9/11 plan, I'd loving laugh them out of my office/cave/tent/secret-fortress. It was an absurdly stupid plan that basically relied on a mixture of luck and America loving up hard. al-Qaeda didn't win the 'battle' of 9/11 so much as America lost it. And it's easier and more comforting to believe in a sinister conspiracy of evil masterminds than it is to accept that you were beaten by idiots. See also: part of I suspect why there's the whole myth of the Nazis as efficient badasses and Hitler as an evil genius. It's more comforting to think the world was nearly conquered by a bunch of supervillains than to realize it was nearly conquered by a bunch of insane idiots who couldn't do the most basic tasks properly.
