Americans are forgive-and-forget people

The group that coordinated the 9-11 attacks was not like the band of amateurs who, also according to Chester, came within a few feet of the correct placement of their explosives-laden van in 1993 of bringing down one of the twin towers, with everyone inside killed. The 9-11 group was well-funded and well-organized.
Note: whoever engineered the 9-11 attack will not have much trouble raising funds for the next one. There are some very rich private citizens among the 500,000,000 who have a deep grudge against the United States.
We are not dealing with Keystone Cops-vintage idiots this time, the job function email list way we were in 1993's bomb-laden van. The 9-11 strategy was not adopted to frighten the United States into submission. It was used to recruit a dedicated army of Islamic terrorists for the next stage. It was used to convince recruits that revenge against the Great Satan is possible – and maybe more than revenge. Maybe even victory over the West, an Islamic goal since 622. We are dealing with a motive that stretches back almost fourteen centuries.
Their philosophy is "let bygones be bygones." They cannot conceive of a motive that goes on for 1,400 years. They forget – if they ever knew – that it took Spain from 732 (the battle of Tours in what is now southern France) until 1492 to remove the Moors from their territory.
