> The paradox is many people feel the US government should have done more about 9/11 or other such events. Certainly. After all, they chose money instead of keeping the one tool[1] they already had that were able to tell them about 9/11 before it happened and save all those people who have died in 9/11 and other attacks. Negligence is complicity when it's a government choosing money over it's citizens, so in the case of 9/11, I'd say the US government is as guilty as the attackers.
