I'm impressed that you have other readers who caught the meaning of your statement. I would expect for a lot of folks, the comparison is probably a bit obscure.

Sad to say.

I'm inclined to disagree, however, with some of the comparisons being drawn. I don't think the disaster was allowed with foreknowledge...but I do think it was taken advantage of for various gains and to deal with some fears.

I'm going to write a short post on it later, as 9/11 has left me scratching my head for ten years...and today I think I finally understand it.
