I hope that any response will be a reasoned one, and I believe it will be. I hope you are right Dicho. But the precedents on this kind of thing aren't too enouraging.

As for the WTC collapse - I'd suspect gas explosions and electrtrical explosions and so forth would be more likely than carefully coordinated secondary bombs planted. If whoever did it had the people and orgaisation in place for that, I'd have thought they'd have been more likely to target additional buildings.

The reason I say that is not because the technical ins-and-outs of it are what matter at this time. They are not. But there is a danger of exaggerating the powewr and ability to stroke of an invisible enemy, and that is a dangerous thing to do. It feeds into the kind of panic in which bad mistakes are made. I'm thinking of things like the internment camps for Japanese Americans in the wake of Pearl Harbour.
