if nuking US is what they wanted to do, why didn't they do it before 9/11 when security was less of a problem for them?

Perhaps they had no fear that the US would react in a meaningful way. After all, the Government hadn't done so for the previous 10 years when the US soil had been attacked.

It is also more than possible that A-Q had to find out exactly what the state of our defenses were....

Much to their surprise, we actually mobilized, and tried to put some defensive measures in place.

To the dismay of some Americans, it would appear.
