IMHO, it didn't take 9/11 to justify what we had to do eventually in Afghanistan. After it was obvious that he was responsible for those others attacks, we should have demanded he be turned over or given the govt's shielding him an ulitmatum of the form that came after 9/11. I agree about the criminal interpretation of terrorism. It is that interpretation that justified our govt throwing up their hands at the futility of pursuing him once he had retreated behind the border of a nation like Afghanistan.
