When people are exposed to the overwhelming evidence that bombs brought down the World Trade Centers on 9/11 (see for example this short article and this essay), they often ask two questions:
If rogue elements within the U.S. government did cause 9/11, why would they have used bombs, when crashing planes into the buildings would have been sufficient to act as a "Pearl Harbor" type justification for war; and
How could bombs have been planted in the heavily-populated trade centers without people noticing?
The answers are, actually, pretty straightforward.

Why Were Bombs Used?
Planes alone would not have scared the American people to the point where we would have relinquished -- for the sake of security -- traditional American ideals of fighting only defensive wars and of having broad personal freedoms (we weren't necessarily following these ideals; but Americans at least believed in them). The war in Iraq and the wholesale suspension of personal liberties -- through the Patriot Acts and secret executive orders -- could not have happened without the "shock and awe" of the collapse of the Twin Towers.
We've all seen images of plane crashes before. While planes crashing into the Twin Towers would have been horrible, that wouldn't have been traumatic enough to cause us to blindly follow power-hungry leaders with an insane agenda spouting obvious lies. Indeed, "only" a few hundred people, at most, would have died from the plane crashes -- a tragedy, but not enough to shake us to the point where we would totally abandon our idea of what it means to be American. Without the trauma of the collapse of the towers, could the vote fraud, WMD hoax, war in Iraq (and perhaps Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela), torture, suspension of legal due process, and patriot acts all have happened within a few short years?
But the collapse of the two tallest buildings in New York, symbols of American business, and the death of close to 3,000 Americans, put us into a state of shock. The controlled demolition of the towers was necessary to instill the degree of fear and confusion required to successfully implement the objectives laid out by Brzezinski in the book "The Grand Chessgame", in the writings of the Project for a New American Century, and in the minds of the other wannabe-conquerors of the Middle East and the larger world.
Modern Americans are jaded by Hollywood special effects, where even everyday TV shows include visually-dazzling images. The original Pearl Harbor may have worked on our grandparents' radio-listening generation using only planes (it is now well-documented that we knew of the Japanese plan of attack, but let it happen in order to justify America's entry into the war). But the "New Pearl Harbor" -- 9/11 -- had to be much more spectacular, and inflict not only tremendous loss of life but also spectacular damage in order to sufficiently terrorize entertainment-overloaded and visually-jaded Americans.
If you learn about the secret history of false flag operations in America and around the world, you will gain a clearer understanding of why the perpetrators of 9/11 thought the demolition of the towers necessary.
How Were Bombs Planted?
There were plenty of opportunities to plant bombs in the world trade centers. As just a few examples:
Bomb-sniffing dogs were inexplicably removed from the Twin Towers five days before 9-11
The Twin Towers had been evacuated a number of times in the weeks preceding 9/11
And there was a power down in the Twin Towers on the weekend before 9/11, security cameras were shut down, and many workers ran around busily doing things unobserved, according to a network administrator working at a large corporation housed in the Twin Towers (I have personally spoken with this witness, and a video interview shot by someone else should soon be publicly released)
As an interesting coincidence, a Bush-linked company ran security at the trade centers
Therefore, the why and how of planting bombs in the towers should not pose a road block to anyone examining what really happened on 9/11.
