Well, the outcome could have been a LOT better.

Better international co-operation and individual government and intelligence services finding and routing out their own home-grown terrorists. Co-operation.
Nope, instead we used co-ercion, bribery and intimidation with these countries; demonizing several countries in the Middle East and promising war!

We didn't NEED this ill-begotten war in Iraq.
Bush went about it the wrong way, as an act of revenge with his righteous God in his right hand and the Neocons in the wings holding onto copies of the PNAC and the New Patriot Act in the other.

It was used as a consolidation of their power; in our own country to make sweeping changes to hold onto that power and direct it at their will , and internationally to affect global commerce for their benefit.

You make it sound like all this bad luck "just had to happen".
