Its hard to believe that the US could have mobilized the resources required to make even a dent in the terrorist problem before a significant attack occured. Public and political opinion probably would have prevented it.

Certainly gathering a world concensus to try to eliminate the OBLs of the world would not have happened before 9-11.

Sad to say, but often tragedy is required before action initiated...
