Sorry to disagree. I think what they did was huge, as do most people, and I think they made their point.
I guess we disagree on the proportion of what happened on 9/11.
I don’t disagree with the proportion of what they did I disagree that their plan and resulting actions were intelligent. There was a gaping hole in our security that they could have used to literally cripple our nation. They wasted that one time opportunity to “make a point,” as you put it (albeit an extremely expensive and tragic point for us), instead of delivering a lethal blow. That is stupidity and they have been paying dearly for it.
