The Government is always the "real" perpetrator of every major tragic event.
Just like it is difficult for people to come to grips with the fact that one crazed man could murder the President of the United States, it is also difficult to deal with the fact that 20 men with box cutters attacked our country on our own soil and killed 3000 people. The event seems too significant and too tragic for such a relatively simple explanation. Psychologically, many people deal with this fact by finding someone else to blame. The Government is the easiest scapegoat because no matter what explanation they give, they're The Government, so they MUST be lying. Everyone knows you can't trust The Government.
Just like your mind wants to see the face of the devil in the WTC smoke, it also wants to identify logical, perfect explanations for large scale, tragic events even when logical, perfect explanations simply do not exist.
