This is ambitious claim. There was a time when US welcomed immigrants from all over the world and its security environment was relaxed. I know this much from people who have lived in the US. Al-Qaeda Network found it easy to send its agents to the US under these circumstances. These people planted a bomb in World Trade Center in 1993 and got away with it.

US created its
Department of Homeland Security in
2003:
Eleven days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge was appointed as the first Director of the Office of Homeland Security in the White House. The office oversaw and coordinated a comprehensive national strategy to safeguard the country against terrorism and respond to any future attacks.
With the passage of the Homeland Security Act by Congress in November 2002, the Department of Homeland Security formally came into being as a stand-alone, Cabinet-level department to further coordinate and unify national homeland security efforts, opening its doors on March 1, 2003.

Al-Qaeda Network was founded by a group of Mujahideen who went rogue after Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1988. Al-Qaeda Network attempted to establish its base of operations in several countries including Sudan and Saudi Arabia but these two countries banned it. Al-Qaeda Network was able to establish itself in Afghanistan by courting Afghan Taliban and influence some in Pakistan.
It is unfortunate that Pakistan did no come up with a counter to Al-Qaeda Network
before 9/11.
Al-Qaeda Network assassinated Ahmad Shah Massoud when he discovered its plot to carry out attacks in other countries:
Two days before 9/11, an Al-Qaeda suicide squad posing as journalists sat down for an interview with Ahmad Shah Massoud, the last major commander resisting the jihadist group's Taliban allies in northern…

Ahmad Shah Massoud was assassinated by two suicide bombers posing as journalists in Khajwa Bahawuddin district of Takhar in September 2001.

A footnote in one decade of jihadist history can become a major mobilizer for terrorists and foreign fighters in subsequent years, and few cases illustrate this problem better than the Tunisian operatives involved in the 2001 murder of an Afghan rebel leader.

Is this not fishy?
Al-Qaeda Network is also suspected to have a hand in assassinating Benazir Bhutto in collusion with TTP:
The first woman to lead a Muslim state was killed 10 years ago - no-one has been convicted of murder.

The changing narratives and operations of al-Qaeda and its Pakistani ally, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), in recent years indicate that the anti-state jihadist war in Pakistan will not end with a U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 or thereafter (The News, March 1). Recent speeches by...

There might be more to this incident because a Pakistani journalist who was investigating Al-Qaeda Network and the extent of its influence in the region was picked up and killed in 2011.
So much is wrong in this country.
Rumors of Osama Bin Laden dying due to kidney failure spread in 2002 but there is a difference between rumors and what is confirmed.
China might become the largest economy but it cannot eclipse US economy and its significance.
China is facing economic troubles in current times. This is in part due to internal factors including mistakes of the Chinese central government and in part due to tensions with the US because American companies are revisiting their global supply chains.
The Chinese economy is weakening as seen through indicators related to its property and manufacturing sectors, unemployment, inflation, and trade.

American economy has defied recession projections on the other hand.
The economy keeps managing to grow. And so does the belief among some economists that the U.S. might actually achieve an elusive “soft landing.”

Yes.
Unfortunately, Saddam Hussein was too harsh on his people. Iraqi defectors including politicians in exile were involved in building a case against Saddam regime and convincing Bush administration to act. This was in the backdrop of the post-9/11 security environment and impetus to pump an American administration to act with a member of Bush family at the helm. A perfect storm.
Mr. Chalabi is perhaps the Iraqi most associated with President George W. Bush’s decision to invade the country and topple its longtime dictator, Saddam Hussein.
