Why not blame it on Bill. You've blamed everything else on him...However, he left the country with NO DEBT, and now the debt is near 3 trillion. If you divide that number by the approx 5000 people killed on 9/11 that means that we have spent 6 hundred million per life on revenge. Too bad we didn't care that much about them when they were alive.

Come on. Al Queda attacked the Twin Towers in 1993 unsuccessfully. (Don't you remember that they put a van full of explosives in the basement garage hoping to topple one of the Twin Towers. Clinto authorized military retatliation and we bombed an aspirin factory in some African country, but we didn't hunt down and kill Bin Laden because the CIA is prohibited from acting in such a fashion, and Clinton did not have grounds to ask for a Declaration of War from Congress.
In hindsight, it would have been appropriate to order the CIA to hunt down and assassinate Bin Laden. Nothing less than that would have possibly prevented the 9/11 attacks.

No, 9/11 was caused by vicious extremists who wanted to kill innocent people. However, it is possible that if Clinton had stood up to the earlier terrorist attacks (on the East African embassies and the USS Cole) instead of backing off, that it might not have happened.
However, you cannot hold someone responsible for the acts of others.

Whether you want to accuse President Clinton or President Bush of failing in this area (and that usually depends on the person's party), it was carried out by Bin La den's lackeys.

you ought to learn history greater suitable, the placement and reasons optimum as much as 9/11 began some time past some say hundreds of years yet we do be attentive to that Lawerence of Arabia and the negotiations he held with the Arabs and the subsequent breaking of the settlement by means of the Allies after ww2 has had a great impact yet relatively the Jews and Christians have been at odds with the Islamics for hundreds of years and it will all play out interior the years yet again with the aid of fact the Bible say's it is going to.

LOL.. no.
Poor Bill. He gets blamed for everything.
No, there are many factors that lead to 9/11. No one person is solely to blame.
