We all fell for it because 9/11 had happened so few weeks before. I, like many, fell for bush's rhetoric about fighting the terrorists "dead or alive" and all that nonsense. We were all very angry at what had happened back then, and we got duped.

Bush never intended to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden. He just wanted to start military conflicts for his own personal gain. While I don't think the government conspired to create 9/11, I think that after it happened, they took full political advantage of it. It's why people supported Iraq.
