Stone wasn't trying to solve it, because you can't until the key documents are declassified. All he was trying to do (IMO) is make the viewer ask questions, and not take the official story at face value.

With the exception of Natural Born Killers, I'm really not a fan of Oliver Stone since most of his movies, like Michael Moore documentaries, tend to push his own political belief and agenda. Personally, I think it's a good thing that the government doesn't always tell us the "truth" for our own protection. Let's face it, there are somethings the general population doesn't need to know in order to keep us from destroying each other.
