It's crazy how influential this event would be on years to come. It has this huge cascade of other events directly affected by it, and it caused America to dump >1 trillion dollars on a compete wasteland of a country. The US had this urge to do something about it, but not sure what exactly. There were a lot of seemingly irrational policies following 9/11. I still can't believe Bin Laden has not been named the Times Person of the Year at the end of 2001.
