What do you call 2,000 dead businessmen? A good start.
More like a handful of businessmen and then hundreds of hourly wage employees sitting in front of computers or cleaning bathrooms and having no involvement in the operations of capital.
Did you forget that 1 wealthy person relies on the work of dozens to hundreds of proles? Or did you think they somehow didn't work in the WTC
This was not an office building in like iowa or something. This was the world trade center. It is safe to assume there were more evil business times there than average.
Even if you believe they deserved death, they deserved it through some sort of legal mechanism accountable to the people they harmed and not just one faction that also harms far more than the evil ones.
I mean, if I was bin laden I would have hit Disney World as well. Given how history has gone we can conclude that those actions have cut into the power of the american hegemony. So on a strictly mathematical sense it will be justified in history. I am not terribly interested as to how or why some magical hypothetical system we could create could have done it better.
