What theories? What level of evidence would you classify as "conclusive"?
Again: Lack of evidence for what theory? It seems you've gone from a philosophical point about "certanty" to some argument that some theory lacks evidence.
First: Not a subject for discussion on this board. Second: That sentence doesn't make sense no matter how I read it.
Remember your question about evidence? The EU idea (not "theory" as it doesn't rise to the level of theory) is dismissed for lack of evidence.

The deal about Iraq is that people came to conclude Iraq was behind 9/11 because people they took to be authorities used words, at best, irresponsibly. Remember the Bush people going "how could anything we have said convinced people Iraq was behind 9/11? We never said that."
