Two historic events lead to two historic reactions:
"Hitler and Bush sought and received emergency powers to ensure further terrorist attacks would not occur. Hitler establish the Office of Fatherland Security, Bush established the Office of Homeland Security . Hitler's administration passed the patriotic "Decree on the Protection of People and State", "the Enabling Act", and Bush's administration passed "The Patriots Act." Both administrations consolidated previously independent law enforcement and investigative agencies under one umbrella."

From:
http://globalresearch.ca/articles/DAV411B.html"International terrorism is contrived threat, a monumental deception carried out by governments and facilitated by mass media to justify aggression, occupation, intervention and the curtailment of human rights. This deception must be exposed as an attack by colluding governments on democracy, human rights. By permitting states to engage in gross human rights violations and aggression, the contrived threat of international terrorism may itself be considered as threat to international peace and security."
And this article, (have not checked historical acuracy):

"This fire," he said, his voice trembling with emotion, "is the beginning." He used the occasion - "a sign from God," he called it - to declare an all-out war on terrorism and its ideological sponsors, a people, he said, who traced their origins to the Middle East and found motivation for their evil deeds in their religion.
Two weeks later, the first detention center for terrorists was built in Oranianberg to hold the first suspected allies of the infamous terrorist. In a national outburst of patriotism, the leader's flag was everywhere, even printed large in newspapers suitable for window display.
Within four weeks of the terrorist attack, the nation's now-popular leader had pushed through legislation - in the name of combating terrorism and fighting the philosophy he said spawned it - that suspended constitutional guarantees of free speech, privacy, and habeas corpus. Police could now intercept mail and wiretap phones; suspected terrorists could be imprisoned without specific charges and without access to their lawyers; police could sneak into people's homes without warrants if the cases involved terrorism.
