Was the terror caused by 9/11 because of the economic impact, or because 3000 innocent people died in such a terrible and unexpected manner ? If the goal was "lets get those Amercians and the grand financial institutions", Fort Knox might have been a better target for the terrorists. I strongly recommend reading the book I quote below, which deals exactly with this topic. -- "Sheep are slow and tasty, and therefore must remain constantly alert." - Bruce Schneier, "Beyond Fear"
