The immediate result was the grounding of air traffic in the US. The legal result was the Patriot Act and the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security. The major foreign policy result was the "War on Terror" which led to the US invasion of Afghanistan (to eliminateg al-Qaeda's training camps), and the subsequent removal of the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq.

Who started the afghan war?
The current NATO involvement in Afghanistan is the direct result of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001. That attack was the work of Osama bin Laden as leader of al Qaeda, with the support of Mullah Omar of the Taliban. They have lots of reasons why it was necessary to attack the US, but nonetheless, there was no hostility between the US and Afghanistan prior to that attack (indeed, the US had strongly supported bin Laden when he was fighting off a Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, some years previously). So it was their decision to go to war. The US and its NATO allies responded in self defense.
