Intended by who? Are you saying the US government knew it meant war and had the foresight (and bandwidth) to arrange a coordinated propaganda campaign on the spot?

People just being naturally angry seems like a simpler and perfectly sufficient explanation. We humans are pretty much hardwired to respond like that: when we believe we've been wronged, a special brain mode kicks in that pushes us toward taking action (ideally a constructive one, but brain hardware doesn't enforce that).

What a coincidence that raw anger led to enabling the plans of the Project for a new American century.
The sun coming up in the morning enables plans to generate solar power, but the sun doesn't require our intervention.
So the planes hitting the towers were as natural as the sun rising in the morning? What?
Someone suggested that Americans got angry after 9/11 because of propaganda. I'm saying they got angry because that happens naturally when your country is attacked.
