We have the most highly funded and supposedly best intelligence services in the world, yet we didn't notice 20 young foreign men come into the country with a complicated terrorist plot? My guess is we saw it coming. But with the economic decline in the late 90s and our groing need for oil, the gov't wanted 9/11 to happen. After the attack and the inevitable public outcry for vengence, the gov't new it would have a blank check to go after "terrorists" around the world, at the same time creating new military bases and securing natural resources for our hungry economy. These are the same type of people who didn't see the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor coming, even though an entire carrier fleet had disappeared in northern Pacific waters and Tokyo had a serious reason to be angry toward us because of the embargo the US placed against the Japanese. Yet WWII secured our position as one of the most powerful nations in the world. What would the gov't have to lose? They had so much to gain.
