Was reading about the Reichstag Fire that gave Hitler considerable powers. I wonder if there aren’t parallels.
No, of course it wasn't handled correctly. We subsequently attacked both Iraq and Afghanistan two countries that had absolutely nothing to do with this. We ignored Saudi Arabia which is a country that arguably did have something to do with it. We didn't bother attacking Saudi Arabia because at that time they supplied a lot of our oil and of course oil was the most important thing in the world at that time. There is also a persistence suspicion that Bush arranged the whole thing in order to prop up what was his dull and failing presidency prior to that event.

No, but honestly, I'm not sure there was a right way to handle it. How the hell could anyone in the American public have known how dark and counter productive the war on terror was going to get? People still didn't know the truth about how Vietnam started (which was really our first crack at the war on terror), and 9/11 was too close to home for us not to respond.

Look at typical "American" 'disaster movies': the common paranoia of U. S. culture is about being attacked on their own ground.
Osama B. L. saw that quite correctly.
And the predictable "panic" about it was the result.
But in fact, only a replacable building group had been affected.
Where personally, I see the Pentagon as the major target... which somehow was fucked up.
But the response - a publicity stunt - was efficient enough ( politically) to produce a picture of being the poor innocent victim.

Nothing is ever handled " correctly" when politics are involved; it's always filthy.9/11 was handled exactly how American and Israeli intelligence agencies planned to handle it. There's a reason why Mossad agents were seen celebrating the twin towers' destruction that day and why they were released back to their own country.
The war in the middle east was needed to destabilize the region to destroy Israel's enemies and expand the American sphere of influence in that region.
Well, Bush sat in the classroom and was not very fast to react or leave to attend to an emergency when his country was being attacked. He was too busy playing Dard Ass with the kids. Of course Biden would probably be doing worse. He would slowly walk out into the bathroom because he thought it was the exit. But that was the worst reaction a President could have.
Dude we have many of the same parallels going on right now.
Covid, Climate change, J6, Ukraine, Israel. All of this shit is making the politicians think they can just fuck around with the American people thinking we don't know what they are doing.
Ok, maybe they are right about you.
the weimar republic is so poor. it's basically funded by the art school that is there. and a virgin boy should go there.
we drove Al Quada out of Afghanistan then stayed there for another 20+ years in a v ain attempt to build a country and government.
