I am not sure I agree with your "very little effort" classification, but
the rest of your point was right on.


I think that relative to the effort put in, the outcome was HUGE. Sure,
it did take some effort and planning to do what they did, but not only did
they knock down two of the tallest buildings around, they have cause most
of the free world to sacrifice their own freedoms, and spend ENORMOUS
amounts of money on ineffective security measures.

Maybe that's what Dan meant...not so much that the 9/11 attacks were
trivial to carry out, but simply that for the amount of work it did take,
the terrorists have furthered their own goals far beyond their wildest
dreams, mostly at the hands of our own government (which I am sure they
find especially hilarious, as you and Dan say).

The terrorist are using the same tactics we used to put the Soviet Union out
of business. Keep creating situations where more and more of the enemies
resources are used to slay windmills. Eventually they will spend themselves
into oblivion.
