Please consider the possibility that 9/11 was an attack against the airline, credit, and shipping industry, and not a reaction to US culture and political ideology. The Middle East has historically served as a trade partner linking Asia, Europe, and Africa, sustaining itself through the shipping of goods and cultural exchange gained from trade between these regions. Flight and the Internet, two advancements in technology which are used to operate trade routes that bypass the Middle East, were both developed in the United States. There was also lots of information in the twin towers related to the credit industry, which is what provided the financial underpinnings for the bypass of Middle Eastern trade. The attackers were allegedly Saudi, which is one of the biggest oil-producing countries, supplying oil for all the trucks that would be mothballed. There has also been a heavy reliance on air strikes and drones in the combat, both aeronautical solutions used to execute the wars. The immediate US commercial response was grounding of airlines and massive expenditures on security and scanning, which played into the Middle Eastern strategy to protect and preserve ground shipping across their land, and the immediate US ground military strategy was messy, wasteful, indiscriminately violent ground wars on Middle Eastern territory to deny the resulting increase in ground trade, something that would have heavily enriched the groups responsible for the attacks. I suspect the United States has been operating as glorified airline security for the last 12 years.From a slightly more humble perspective, internet search providers and database scientists wanted an event with the same numerical significance as the USA emergency contact number in order to make finding news about what was happening to innocent Americans who were getting jacked by the military industrial complex harder to find than a needle in a haystack.
