By making 9/11 into a totem, we made political Islam a lot more powerful than we needed to. 9/11 was spectacular- but that was the point, and there weren't a lot of people involved in it. By making it a huge symbolic watershed event, that "changes everything", we made it a huge symbolic even for political Islam. Our bad, imo. We should not have done that. We should quit now, imo.
