"Unless and until someone shows me proof that there was something that could have been specifically done to break the chain of cause and effect leading from the entry into the US of the terrorists to the time they hijacked the planes, I will consider the discussion to be so much political folderol useful only for those who have axes to grind."

Do you believe that, since 9/11, measures have been taken to prevent a similar attack from happening again?

If so, those same measures could have been taken before 9/11, thus preventing the attack.

But we can make a fair guess, with a good chance of probabilistic accuracy.

Well sure C2! We can and do. All the time. And some times we get it right.

But we never get it right all the time. And as to the nub, I don't see much point in asking the question could the WTC have been saved? It wasn't saved. And it couldn't be guaranteed protection. That seems to be the point for me.
