It could have easily been prevented.
If not for failures of the politicians in power at the time it would have been prevented.
Now, given the view of the politicians and the history since that day, it makes sense that the politicians are quite happy with how it all turned out for them. They should all be in jail, and they are not.
Generals should have been fired, the intelligence agencies revamped, whistle blowers exalted, ground zero examined as a crime scene.
Instead the failure of the politicians has resulted in endless war, many more thousands dead and suffering, and the future: bleaker than ever.
Fuck you, bush and cheney!
