The actions of the US government were not actually a response to the 'terrorism'. Those incidents were merely their excuses and cover stories as they proceeded to do exactly what they intended and desired previously (witness the Patriot Act, appearing in it's full 8,000 page glory 2 days after the WTC was destroyed).

And the bill John Ashcroft sent up [the Patriot act] was my bill." - Joe Biden http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/rhetorical-question http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/rhetorical-question In 1994, his bill was considered too extreme and heavily criticized for not protecting civil liberties.
