Suppose if instead of Al-Qaeda, the attacks had been perpetrated by some sort of extremist group native to the United States with no apparent international connections.
Lets suppose for this it was a far right wing organization bent on bringing down the goverment and the terrorists had been white.
Would there still be a big war on terrorism with the use of military forces, only this time in America against other Americans?
Would this cause the US to turn inward and become more reluctant to engage in foreign affairs because we'd be too busy focusing on internal problems?
Would this result in an increased enviroment of paranoia since the terrorists would be indistinguishable from the majority of Americans?
Would this result in a major oppression of civil liberties?
