9/11 happened largely because America's defenses

Nope. It happened as a result of an elaborate planning and a huge self sacrificial effort on the part of the Al Qaeda organisation.

Incompetent defences? Obviously, the CIA, FBI etc. could have done a better job. But - you know what? - I wouldn't want to be the person responsible for protecting you from someone who hates you so bad that they are prepared to die along with you. Not an easy task.
