“So, there were (are) these violent terrorists. No doubt. But WHOSE terrorists are they? Who, exactly, is organizing and funding and training them? Who are they ultimately working for, and toward what end?”

I think an important aspect to keep in mind about the act of terrorism that was 9/11 is that it was the first modern instance of what I would call terrorism to “turn the page”. Of course, the planet is fairly vast, and not all so-characterized terrorist attacks are interrelated or related in any direct way to 9/11. But even so, a rash of earlier attacks such as the Khobar
Towers and embassy bombings, the USS Cole attack, probably Centennial Park bombing, and certainly the 1993 WTC bombing, among slews of others, were preparatory, creating an at least subliminal public “awareness” setting the stage for 9/11/2001.
9/11 itself was used to successfully turn the page for the world away from primarily civilian aspirations to concentrate on military mobilization and the girding of loins necessary to strike at designated adversaries. The template re-implanted then was a very old one, dating at least from the dread of the Saxons and the colonial Indians, good guys vs. fiendish and subhuman bad guys. More recently, Huns and East Asians, aggressive Nazis and Commies, now “radical Islamists”. At first, the Islamic terrorists’ alleged goal was to get the U.S. military out of Saudi Arabia, the sacred space. After 9/11, it was suddenly expanded to be to determinedly smash the whole western world and annihilate us all. More
