It's very important to go back and keep in mind the distinction between handling these events as criminal acts which was the way we did before 9/11 and then looking at 9/11 and saying 'This is not a criminal act ' not when you destroy 16 acres of Manhattan kill 3 000 Americans blow a big hole in the Pentagon. That's an act of war.
Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas to take a calculated risk and to act.
