While it is vital to figure out exactly what chain of events allowed for both WTC attacks, does it really do anything to play the blame game with the presidents?

So, '92 happend because President Bush, and quite possibly President Reagan didn't think anyone would be so bold as to attack the U.S.

So, then comes Oklahoma, and the first thing everyone thinks is that the arab terrorists attacked the U.S. But that turned out to be our own citizens, born and raised, who were responsible for it. So again, no one believed that anyone would be so bold as to attack the U.S., even though the WTC was bombed in '92.

So, 9/11 happens, and b/c of the scale of the attack, now everyone finally believes that someone would be so bold as to attack the U.S.

Basically, that's 4 presidents who were arrogant enough to think that something like this could never happen. Who would dare attack the U.S.?

Now, I am basing this off of nothing. And that's my point. Did you personally believe something like this could happen? Truth is, the point of the bomb in '92 was to take out the towers. It was a miracle that the plan was not exectuted properly. There was no miracle on 9/11.

The U.S. should have been prepared, but it wasn't. I think this arrogant attitude was allowed to continue b/c the Oklahoma bombers turned out to be U.S. citizens. Maybe the country became lax after this, instead of becoming more tense. And it should have woken up. Everyone should have been like: "If this is what our own citizens are capable of, what could someone who really hates us do?" Unfortunately, that's not how America thinks.

Hence 9/11.
