As much as I dislike Bush and his policies in general, I don't think that anybody could foresee 9/11 happening because we (the whole country, including people who should probably know better) thought we were invincible. Well, we found out that we're not, the hard way and it shook us all to the core. Everybody wants someone to blame, but the only people to blame are the terrorists. Even if they did know that there might be some sort of plan to use plans in a terrorist act, what would they have changed? There hasn't been evidence presented that they knew when or where. Look at all the times we've gone to high alert status and nothing happened. It makes us (the peons) take the elevated status less seriously each time.
Iraq is a whole nother story and completely unrelated to 9/11, although there are an awful lot of people who don't realize that. While I was opposed to the war in Iraq, I was not opposed to our actions in Afghanistan. We need to get al qaeda and that's where our resources should have been focused all along.
