You propose an interesting dichotomy with the above two questions. Sure, it's easy to accept that middle eastern scumbags hit the towers. However,
it's much harder to accept "that's it" in light of the evidence.
Why?
Because of 3 main reasons:
1) The collapse of WTC7 does not match the improbable explanations offered so far by the NIST, who have failed to even publish their final report
after almost 6 years. Even if there were raging fires, and even if there was significant structural damage on the south face of WTC7, that cannot
explain the simultaneous failure of every perimeter steel column at the base of WTC7, including the columns at all four corners of the building.
2) Flight 77 was permitted to fly unimpeded for 30 minutes from Kentucky to Washington D.C. before striking the Pentagon. It seems unlikely that even
the craziest of terrorists would plan to hijack a plane that departed less than 20 miles from the Pentagon, wait 30 minutes to hijack the plane, then
plan on flying back into Washington D.C. airspace without fear of being intercepted. The same can be said for the terrorists on FL 93 who apparently
were more concerned with passengers breaking into the cockpit than with F-16s taking them out of the sky.
3) The U.S. government has an admitted history going back 25 years of being allied with al-Qaeda operatives. This includes providing weapons and
money for OBL himself to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. One of OBL's top operatives, Ali Mohammed, worked with the CIA, FBI, and was
stationed with the Green Berets at Fort Bragg.
Both the FBI and CIA were tightly connected to al-Qaeda operatives in the NY area throughout the 1990's. There was also foreknowledge of the plan to
blow up a US naval ship in Yemen, yet the Cole was left defenseless to be attacked.
And when the Able Danger military intelligence program apparently stumbled across members of the NY cell that reportedly flew the planes into the
Pentagon nobody wanted to even look at what they found. Able Danger was ordered to destroy their data, and the Dept. of Defense ordered the officers
not to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee investigating this cover-up.
So while it might be easy to accept that arab terrorists flew the planes into the buildings on 9/11, it's not quite so easy to accept the "and
that's it" part of your premise.
