Guys..I dont really know much about the terrorist attacks at 9/11..who gets blamed for it? osama, saddam, or bush?

OK, let me put it this way. There is a mother, a toddler and a swimming pool. The mother knows that the swimming pool is a threat for her child's well being but still decides to do nothing about it. She's been warned and aware of what could happen, but doesn't know where, when, how, and/or if this will happen to her child. The mother decides to proceed and do nothing about this threat and one day her child drowns in this pool. She could've prevented it, but chose not to. She should've taken the threat seriously, but didn't. Who gets blamed? The mother. It's a fact.

Why should this be any different? He's a father figure to us. His job is to protect us; any threat is still a threat, no matter how big or small it is.

Yes the mother gets blamed, however, lets rewind the whole story.

Lets say that the mother knows about the possible threat and DID take precautions by not letting her child travel anywhere without her and baby the child all the time to prevent a certain death.

Lets state the obvious so that we can better proceed: the American people VALUES their independence and privacy. Even after 9/11, there were people griping and groaning when they were checked extra carefully at airports. People had problems with the extra security even though they KNOW why such precaution measures are enforced. Imagine with me then, a United States where 9/11 is but a mere possibility and hasn't happened. Then imagine with me a President who goes into office and take all the precautions as if 9/11 will happen.

First, I'll tell you now that the President will be thought of as crazy since Americans would never have imagined that the US will be attacked so brutally by any enemy out of the blue. It's just isn't plausible (and of course now we know better). Second, the American people will feel as if they are placed under house arrest, or something like it. After all, no one likes so many restrictions placed on travel or doing things that they need/want. And third, who would want to live under a constant state of fear?

The mother of the child must live her life thinking that something will happen to the child and baby him instead of educating him of the ways to survive. Likewise, if the government tells the people of this nation that there'll also be a chance of an attack, many people will live in constant fear (remember that there were so many people who went for psychological help after 9/11 out of fear).

We cannot have predicted 9/11. Intelligence agencies may have been able to detect the dangers but it was THEIR FLAW that resulted in the tragedy.

And even if the mother knew of such dangers, what can she do? Tell me. Will she forbid her child to swim forever? What about in the case the child was kidnapped or threatened by a shady character? What should the mother do? Forbid her child to ever leave the house?
