I couldn’t agree more. Things might have turned out similarly regardless, but there’s a non-zero chance that without it the patriot act, the second bush term, and the following collapse of civil liberties would not have occurred, or at least would have taken more time or a different path. Sometimes you see people say al-Qaeda won that day and though I don’t think anyone really won, sine it and the aftermath were devastating worldwide, they certainly had some of their aims accomplished.
