Neoconservative writings outright stated they needed a Perl Harbor type incident to get the public behind their foreign policy plans. Post 9/11, the Republicans were able to accomplish much of what they wanted to do pre-9/11, such as restrictions on civil liberties (in Patriot Act) and attacking Iraq.
Bush's response to 9/11 also has been great for al Qaeda'a recruitment, with al Qaeda operatives estimated to have tripled following the attack on Iraq.
