Sure, he did make massive cuts to the military and intelligence community, which indirectly led to 9/11 happening, but I still believe the mistake the US made by not rebuilding Afghanistan after the USSR pulled out, was more a direct cause of 9/11 than anything Clinton did.

He is still 'partly' at fault though. And a lot of people tend to ignore that.

EDIT: You can't really solely blame Clinton though, IIRC, Bush 1 made even more disastrous cuts.
