So the suspension of civil liberties to deal with "terrorism" did more to derail the chance of any peaceful settlement and unleashed an orgy of death that lasts to this day (although it's been much better since the Good Friday agreement, bombs thrown at little girls going to school aside). As the American administration has announced it is withdrawing it's troops from Saudi Arabia, which is what Al Quaeda wanted all along, perhaps the American elite are smarter than their British cousins.
