A group of 10 a-holes couldn't even put dog collars on prisoners without getting caught, what are the odds the slip shod government could do it when they can't even keep secret projects secret? I'd say you could win the lottery 3 times in a row and still not beat those odds...

I am questioning myself as to whether I actually 'want' a conspiracy to be present, just because it might be exciting. It's pretty hard to stop believing something that you have blindly believed for the past six months, I may have watched too many videos and articles regarding conspiracy theories with regards to 9/11 and Iraq.
I do however oppose your argument about the reason a conspiracy cannot be true. When you talk about people keeping quiet, do you think it might be possible that if a conspiracy is taking place, the government would be able to supress the information by controlling the media? Because ultimately, corporate media is what controls the perceptions of the mass population with regards to political affairs. If the government pays the media stations a huge sum of money to keep quiet, then surely they would do it. Or maybe pay the individuals huge sums of money to keep quiet. But then again, maybe this is a far fetched view.
I'd like to ask your opinion. Somebody asked a question on BBC Question Time a few weeks ago. A chap in the audience actually asked the members of the panel "Why did the US/British government put Sadam into power in the first place?", and the the camera quickly moved away and went on to the next question. I thought this was rather strange, like the BBC was hiding something, or maybe the accusation was too ridiculous to answer. I haven't actually researched this. Is this claim well founded?
