Hopefully that restraint is the case!

It's becoming more clear to me why/how 9-11 happened, and a possible correlation to the situation with Iraq.... For example, some of the comments and thought processes here on this board seem similar to that of the mindset of the bureaucrats in the FBI, CIA, Administration, Congress, etc. People evidently feel they have to protect their turf, or fiefdom, so to speak. It does appear that many clues and links were actually available over the past 10 years, but so many people in the chain wanted "iron clad proof" of EVERY single detail of the ALL possible terror operations, that those clues and links were just passed on, and on, and on>>>>>>.... ....Until it was too late. The terrorists were able to kill thousands of Americans and world visitors because they knew that no one would actually believe what was going to happen, and therefore, no one did anything about the clues. Was this willful, or just plain stupidity?? Long time ago, I read: "If we don't have a good understanding of history, we are doomed to repeat it."
