You are oversimplifying things here.... Why was the World Trade Center chosen (twice) to attack.... it is an economic target. All wars are economic, including drug wars and terror wars... what was the COST of 9/11???

Was the terror caused by 9/11 because of the economic impact, or because 3000 innocent people died in such a terrible and unexpected manner ? If the goal was "lets get those Amercians and the grand financial institutions", Fort Knox might have been a better target for the terrorists. I strongly recommend reading the book I quote below, which deals exactly with this topic. -- "Sheep are slow and tasty, and therefore must remain constantly alert." - Bruce Schneier, "Beyond Fear"
