(62,325 posts)will want to harm this country. This has been true of all countries who invade other countries for resources, throughout history. So I know that if the 9/11 attack had been stopped, it would not have been the last one. But we also know that many, many attacks WERE stopped and will be stopped in the future.
Other countries have always dealt with terror attacks without invading other countries. England, Spain, France et al all have problems with terror due to their interventions in other nations.
Such plots will only stop when we end our current foreign policies and it might have helped had we prosecuted the Iraq war criminals.
After 9/11 a lot of people where shocked that anyone could hate us so much. 'Why do they hate us' was a constant question shocked people were asking. I'm sure the Iraqi people were asking why WE hated THEM so much we killed over one million of them.
So imo, 9/11 like so many other terror attacks, could have been stopped. But that would not have been the last plot. Clinton warned the Bush Admins to take terror seriously, as he did. Bush didn't and 9// happened.
