In the U.S., the economy was lagging badly, the stock market was falling, many were questioning if the government's taxes were legal, the Gary Condit case had been poorly handled, people continued to question Waco and the Oklahoma City bombing, they questioned our support of Israel in her policies regarding the Palestinians, and the approval rate of President Bush was low.

there is no way they could have ever possibly known the Americans would have invaded Iraq as a result of attacking the trade centre...most of the hijackers were supposed Saudis

Why the WTC?
The clue is in the name IE World Trade Centre which, to many peoples of the world who are disadvantaged by western economic practices, were the very symbol of the 'economic terrorism' they'd been the victims of for generations. A passive sort of terrorism based firmly on greed that claims way more lives due to hunger & disease than aggressive terrorism ever has with bombs & bullets. Certain 'extremists' had demonstrated a macabre fascination with those buildings in '93 (unsuccessfully) so they upped the ante.
