Good quote. Pretty much sums the situation up since 9/11.
It doesn't appear the purpose of 9/11 was to specifically overthrow consitutional government. Bush and Congress are the ones behind that. 9/11 in my view was probably a combination of retailiation against harms (real or imagined) inflicted by the US on the Middle East and Islam in general and an attempt to actually disrupt some financial machinations. I wonder if they even imagined the US would retaliate back so harshly?
