There are always groups of people in the world that hate. Hatred is often focused on the United States because of the wealth and world power of the US in comparison to so many other countries and people in the world. There is some validity to hatred directed at the US in that the US government has, on occasion, wielded its power unwisely. Those who hate the US based on mistakes that the government has made focus only on these mistakes, failing to take into the picture the diversity of the people and ideas, or the benefits that the US has also provided to the rest of the world.

The goal of the terrorists was to make the biggest impact on targets that represented the wealth and power of the US. The Towers represented the wealth, the Pentagon and the White House (or Capitol building) represented the power. The terrorist were smart enough to know that a lot of people would happen to be in the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) at that time of day on a week day.
