How much of that do you attribute to bombing Afghan citizens and how
much do you attribute to increased domestic security?

and the difference is?

In real life we have just been lucky. People act like 9/11 was some
very complex plan that could not have been hatched in a basement in
Manhattan. It was 19 guys with, a few hours on a simulator, airplane
tickets and box cutters, nothing much more complicated than that. You
don't *need an international conspiracy to do it.

and by denying AQ a base in afghanistan we have removed a base of
planning, training and operations.
