6. Crime. The perpetrators were not a state or government,
unless of course you count whatever complicity there was from our own "leaders."

24. What has scale got to do with it? NOTHING.
Pearl Harbor was ordered by a GOVERNMENT. It was one nation's attack on another nation.

Al qaida was a government? OF WHAT NATION?

Do you think it was smart or the height of stupidity to elevate al qaida to a nation state and bin Ladin to a chief of state?

Scale. Talk about lacking a sense of proportion.

12. A crime
because Al-quaida is not a country. You go to war with countries not radical groups of individuals.

13. A crime
An act of war has to come from an organized country in my book.

Also, this particular landmark crime of 9/11 still has many questions and strange curiosities that have never been fully explored.

Definitely needs to be investigated some more.

23. A war crime...
A war crime... I don't think one necessarily precludes the other.
