Didn't see your edit in time to reply in my last post.
You say striking the WTC wasn't a strike against the government and its foreign policy, yet the response that has cost the Americans billions in wars and the rights Americans have given up with the Patriot Act have hurt the American way of life. I think they achieved their goals with this attack and it was an amazing ROI.
Also, they did go for government targets with the Pentagon strike and the Pennsylvania flight was assumed to be headed for the White House.
