Although I do believe Bush & Co. was indeed fear mongering, Paul Krugman's NYT article is uncalled for on this day of remembrance. Referring to 9/11 becoming a "day of shame" is a disgrace - unless you're that fickle-minded where you need to hang on a politicians next word like it's your next breath.
So if Mr. Krugman thinks W was scaring the fecal matter out of us, what is his opinion of Obama the Apologist?
Yeah bad timing but he is right about the neo-con scum that used this to implement their agenda of profiting from war and thinking they were going to be able to take control of vast amounts of oil.
The US didn't incite hatred of Muslims. The radical Muslims did that all on their own, without any help of America.
Then you must be smarter than the current and former 'intelligence' analysts, bureau chiefs, etc that run foreign assets, obtain degrees and spend focus their life on understanding how a specific country or region works, etc, etc
Try reading and learning outside of your apparently close minded circle.
The US has for decades run programs to keep in place, stabilize, neutralize, etc foreign gov'ts to the benefit of the US....except what happens when the long-term implication(s) of those strategies is not a benefit:
Israel
Egypt
Jordan
Lybia
Pakistan
Saudia Arabia
Just to name a few of those with whom "we" have been involved in maintaining that result(ed) in backlash to American foreign policy.

So what you're saying is you are against Clinton's foreign policies?
Krugman hit the nail on the head, too bad he waited 10 years to make such a statement.
Journalism has been just as guilty as the main protagonists in covering up instead of asking tough questions
Has anybody seen what the Krugman piece cost the Times? If very many people of the "other side" follow the actions of this man the Times readership just declined, maybe enough for them to start picking and choosing which op eds they publish. I really wonder how many people beat my man to the punch and how many will follow. I did it long ago when I started calling the rag the al Times of New York.

The general public's distrust/skepticism of Muslims has nothing to do with what these "experts" say. It is all about the mainstream Muslims inability to truly reign in the actions of extremists.
