    He said that 9/11 was deserved (yes) but I think he also implied it was a good thing (it wasn’t really)

    It wasn’t good because it gave the US all the justification it needed to stifle all forms of dissent

      I'd disagree on it not being a good thing. It was a "good thing," in the sense that it showed America's hubris on being invincible (in a sense). But I do agree it wasn't a "good thing" for the reason you state (America's reaction to it)

        I believe that the consequences that it had on civil liberties in America and the consequences it had abroad far outweighed any good about it. It gave them a Pearl Harbor, a thing to avenge.
