      Think about the legacy of 9/11 — Bush’s popularity skyrocketed (rally around the flag effect), they launched decades-long wars in the Middle East, surveillance programs (NSA, TSA, etc.) expanded to ordinary Americans on a massive scale (e.g. USA PATRIOT Act, REAL ID Act), etc.

      It did a lot for the Bush administration, and may have been responsible for his 2004 re-election.
