Was just thinking.........Americans always assumed we were "safe". I don't feel that way anymore! Most everyone I know doesn't. UBL may have done what seems to pass as a minimal effort...........but the masses have suffered. If not directly through personal loss of family or friend..........than loss of freedom as we knew it and the comfort and security that we all took for granted! I'd say that was a "MAXIMUM" effort!
Example: I live in an area where it is unusual for a passenger jet to pass over at less than 30,000 feet or more. If one is flying low for some reason on any particular day........I look up and watch in fear till it passes from sight. Everyone I know has said they do the same thing. And if the "Blue Angels" are flying above on manuevers...........I turn on a news source to make sure it is just an exercise! Never did this before Sept. 11th. I used to just watch the "Angels" pass over and think...."Must be an air show somewhere."
