It sounds like you're just trying to shift the attention to something else "Oh, why talk about this really significant historical event when we can just talk about Hiroshima??". The other one basically says that if something it is hard to get to the bottom of something then we should just stop trying all together.

Imagine if 9/11 really was an inside job. It's already gone into the history books as something that was done by religious extremists. That has some very significant implications, it basically means we can't at all trust history neither the one in the past nor the one that is continuously created. If there's any real doubt whether or not a government committed such a horrible crime on their own people and subsequently succeeded in completely hiding the fact that they did it; then that's a gigantic problem and asking "what's the point?" seems just batshit crazy.

Then you haven't understood my point. As you've actually demonstrated yourself in your post, most people don't seem to care about the horrible atrocities that their government ADMITS to doing. 9/11 Truth stuff is nothing more than a distraction to get people to drain their energies on something that will never be proved conclusively. Part of me actually thinks that 9/11 Truthers are actually trying to discredit the real liberty movement by saddling it with conspiracy theories that both reduce its credibility and waste the time and energy of some of its members.

I think humanity can handle investigating several issues at once. I agree that perhaps people unjustly turn a blind eye to the horrible things their own country does, and that is an issue, but that issue doesn't overrule every other problem we have. We've got lots of 'em, we just wouldn't get anywhere if we used this queue-of-problems mentality... *shrug*
