9/11 was the MIHOP to end all MIHOPs. |

DU students of history will know that many wars have been started by self-inflicted casus belli.
However with 9/11 the damage was enough to be used to justify a pre-emptive policy. With a pre-emptive policy there's no need to keep contriving false attacks on yourself to justify war, you just attack your target anyway.
So, in that sense 9/11 is the gift that keeps on giving for the MIC.
Of course (the potential attack on) Iran will be the test of this, whether there's enough political capital left in 9/11 to justify an attack or another MIHOP is needed.
