Saying that the path to 9/11 started during the Clinton years is woefully short-sighted... the ideology of the terrorists was born during the first decades of the twentieth century, was nurtured in the post-colonial days following WWII, and matured during the later stages of the Cold War (particluarly in Afghanistan).

So if the mini-series was to be truthful, they should start from the day itself (9/11) and start going back with each episode - so covering what effects the each US administration had; as well as the policies of the French, German, and British colonial governments and Imperial practices had in birthing the ideology.


But then again... this is in the Entertainment section - so I guess a program that reduces the complicated ideology and path to 9/11 to political sniping and a partisan blame game does make sense.
