Killing people was only half of the terrorist's plan. Making people react with fear, paranoia and vengeance is the other part. They're attacking us from within our own borders in more ways than one. The truth of the matter is that a nation like ours is alot easier to injure when everyone is panicking and angry. That's part of terrorism's purpose.

It's no longer terrorists that have to do the scaring, the news and the Bush administration are using the events of 9/11 to mantain fear. People who are afraid will consume, buying products they don't need. Bush is also using the fear to his advantage, saying he is the only one who can prevent another attack. As long as people believe evil is lurking around every corner they will think they need that protection.
