What I thought? It was a trajedy... though nothing as big as everyone blows it up to be. There have been bigger trajedys both manmade and natural before and since 9/11.

I think the "Woe is us" over reaction treating it like the worst thing ever is what lead to the more "anti-americanism" even more then Iraq.

It's also what lead a lot of people to be for the war in Iraq I think... despite it not being related everyone was on edge and ready to pounce for some reason. At the time I thought our leaders were of calmer minds. Turned out to not be so.
