Yes, it is interesting, but "Babylon" is described as being on seven hills, a clear reference to Rome.
I think it is more likely that the terrorists knew these revelations (remember, they think Jesus is a prophet and they accept Torah and the Gospels as the first revealed word of God, with the Qu'ran or Koran being the final revealed word), and they twisted their plans to fit Biblical prophesy to sew mental confusion and hopelessness among us.
Therefore, while I will not let anyone put a chip in me, I am also not going to believe fighting these terrorists is hopeless. Nor am I going to believe that all of America is Babylon unless Jesus in person tells me so unequivocally. Nor am I going to buy that when the terrorists blew up the WTC they were messengers from God.
Forget that noise. I don't buy it.

No, the whore of Bablyon is seated on the seven hills of Rome:

Rev 17:9 Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman is seated:

The whore represents the corrupted church...those churches both Roman Catholic and protestent that have been corrupted and influenced by money.

18 doesn't say the the angle caused it. The angel is just reporting it.

As far as the origns of the whore, you need to understand the long history of the merchant bankers who were housed within the WTC. These business have roots that preceed much of western civilization.
