From the USA......that is right, we sneak up and BOMB the hell out of any nation we choose. Women and children are collateral damage for our heros.
We have our STEALTH BOMBERS they had theirs.
There is ZERO MORAL differance between the 9/11/01 bombers and our military.
We BOTH sneak up and bomb...actually the USA has a far greater body count that AlQueda , Saddam or the 9/11/01 bombers.

Also, there was a movie with Kurt Russel in the 90's called Execitice Decision. Though they weren't going to fly into a bulding, it dealt with using a commercial airliner as a weapon.
The big difference is that we don't pick out civilian targets as the terrorists of 9/11 did. Granted, it would not have excused their actions, it isn't like they attacked and Army base, or some other military installation.
If the US does pick a non-military target, it is because the other side is using it as a shield, and there is likely military equipment or personnel located there. A good example was a school we bombed when my Dad was over there. There were no children in the school, and it was being used as an HQ for some military unit.

To answer the opening question if anyone out there is wondering, I believe bin Laden heard about an Egyptian aircraft that plunged into the sea and then got the idea for 9/11. There were also some Algerian terrorists who planned to fly a plane into the Eiffel Tower in 1994.

My answer to this is that the 9/11/01 bombers got their idea from American movies. I remembered watching countless American movies that depicts the same style employed by terrorists, long before 9/11 took place.
The terrorist's desire to acquire nuclear weapons and dirty bombs came from ideas shown in the movies as well.

We don't just bomb people because we are in the mood.
There has to be a military or political objective.
I don't know where you get your moral compass, but it needs fixed.
Go live in an Islamic country for a few years, that may help you see things more clearly.

I don't think they exactly got their idea from anyone. But if they did I wouldn't be surprised if it was American military. The only thing probably rushing through their minds when they came up with this plan was: How can we get back at America that will really make a statement?

Bilbo beat me to it..he got it right! But it doesn't stop with the Northwood papers.....9-11 made it a reality.

And where did we the idea from? The Japanese during WW2. They were called Kamikazes. And our body count is nowhere near theirs, go ask the Chinese.

Plese stop. This is ridiculous. Obviously you are not proud of being an American. Where are you planning on moving and living out the rest of your life?
