Another reason for 9/11

It's rooted very deeply in the way the system is designed. Nothing is going to change without a revolution aimed at drastically restructuring the roots of social organization. When you give people power and money, they abuse it. Five thousand years of human history make this fact painfully obvious.
The only way to get rid of people abusing power and money is to get rid of power and money. As long as we have capitalism and governments, we will have constant infringements on liberty. Replacing one leader with a more benevolent one will do nothing; the problem is in the system, not the individual. How many politicians and greedy corporations have to fuck up people's lives for them to realize this?
See What is Communist Anarchism? by Alexander Berkman for more a more thorough explanation.
