If it is true that the government "let it happen right under their nose", as in knowing that it was going to happen and doing nothing to prevent it, then there is reason for impeachment of, and criminal proceedings against, our leaders. I don't believe that the government knew exactly what was going to happen, or assisted it, but I do think that they took advantage of the situation in order get public support for an invasion of Iraq.

My own personal opinion is that we should have started boycotting Middle Eastern oil until bin laden was caught and the terrorist organizations were eliminated by the countries that they operate out of.
