Here's what SHOULD have happened immediately after 9/11:

1) We do NOT allow the Bin Laden family to immediately fly back to Saudi Arabia.

2) We FIND Osama and present his fucking head on a stick for the world to see.

3) We immediately make plans to rebuild the WTC within 8 years, as a national priority, and to show the world we can immediately recover. Same skyline.

4) We switch almost everything in the US to natural gas until we can switch to cleaner energy, so the need for foreign oil is reduced instantly. Cars, buses, you name it - all running on 100% domestic natural gas until a better plan is conceived.

That's my opinion anyway.

Of course that is not how it went down, and now we are much weaker, thanks to the mistakes we allowed to happen.
