Is it just me or does anyone else think that the 9/11 attacks were much more the result of our own sense of insulation from the world and arrogance, than flawed intelligence? I just don't feel like anyone, at the time of the attacks, believed that someone would be so bold as to actually attack us on our own soil. Even after the World Trade Center attacks in 1993, we just wrote that off as an isolated event. We were like a ship heading into the Artic... 1993 was that first bump of ice against our hull... we never thought to keep an eye out for the iceberg cause the whole trip up we didn't see a single one.
