Would you say it was as much of a surprise as 9-11?

To some, 911 was not a surprise at all. In any event, there were clear harbingers. For most people it was a development beyond their scope of awareness not to mention it was their desire not to believe such things could ever happen. There are no surprises, only people lacking in awareness of circumstances. It's an old game, by some well played. Most people choose not to participate.
