First, this post will take you to others I've written about the aftereffects of 9-11. I think I've said what I needed to on that score.
As of tomorrow, a person who was born after the Twin Towers fell will be a legal adult and can sign up to go fight in the forever war that came about as a result. If there was ever a chance to "win" in Afghanistan, it was tossed away by Bush the Spendthrift on his way to fight a war of aggression against a nation that had nothing to do with the matter then at hand. But he and Dick the Torturer went out and lied through their teeth to justify it. Bush's Misbegotten War destabilized the region-- ISIS is a stepchild of the Iraq War.
As far as I know, senior members of the Bush Administration still cannot travel overseas for fear of being arrested for war crimes.

If so, that's the only personal or professional consequence I am aware of that any of the Bushie/Neocon cabal has faced for the damage they did to the country.
I'm in the Lawrence Wilkerson camp concerning our massive overreaction to the horrible events of eighteen years ago this morning, and don't forget that dubya was warned and blew it off.
