No, sir. From the standpoint of ruthless ruling-class efficiency, the best means would have been to _prevent_ the attacks on the WTC & the Pentagon from happening. For all the investment they made in the conventional armed forces, conventional police, intelligence, covert operations, etc. over many decades, however, they couldn't even defend the Pentagon effectively. One expects the governing elite of a capitalist state not to serve the interests of the working class, but one at least expects its department of defense to defend its own headquarters capably. The 9/11 bombings showed that it couldn't do even that. The governing elite of this nation are not fit to rule. A vote of no confidence.
