The overwhelming majority of Germans did not seem to mind that their personal freedom had been taken away, that so much of culture had been destroyed and replaced with a mindless barbarism, or that their life and work had become regimented to a degree never before experienced even by a people accustomed for generations to a great deal of regimentation.... The Nazi terror in the early years affected the lives of relatively few Germans and a newly arrived observer was somewhat surprised to see that the people of this country did not seem to feel that they were being cowed.... On the contrary, they supported it with genuine enthusiasm. Somehow it imbued them with a new hope and a new confidence and an astonishing faith in the future of their country.

i don't know if 911 resembled american mentality to the nazis in any way. but i can observe that the americans, astonishingly like for a developed country, are prone to govenment propaganda. i'm saying that from a european perspective. this make them alike nezi germany, but i'd say it's a rather american national trait, that is still present bc matirial prosperity never turned their attention to the fact that every gavernment will full you if given free to do it.
i don't think it's the answer to your question. i don't think you are looking for the answer different then you have given.
as to "blind patriotism" maybe you are right, maybe not. but your reasoning is going too far, though i'm not saying it's completly without foundation. i hope this is for your essay asignment, otherwise i advise you to abandon this reasoning, the relationship sounds good only in theory - good enough for a piece of writing but not for real life.

America went into a state of shock after 9-11 and hasn't recovered. It is truly frightening how quickly it has descended into a police state run by religious loonies. That's what happens when fear usurps rational thought.

Again I ask you. Were you born with this deficit or did it take a lot of practice?
