You also have to have to understand the anger involved here. The entire United States was never united like it was after Pearl Harbor; If you were a young man between the ages of 17-35 and not fighting the war you were looked down at. Everyone was united - Young kids in school collected tin and scrap metal for the war effort. We were going to fight the Japanese until the very end.
We angrily invaded Iraq in retaliation for the WTC Bombing.

And then it turned out they had nothing to do with it.

So the pattern here is A) get attacked/invaded B) retaliate with an attack/invasion.

Instead of shoring up holes in security to prevent A) from happening again and again.
