first, no....I don't believe the US Government had anything to do with the attack
second, I don't believe the goal of the terrorists was to minimize the death toll OR to kill as many people as possible. It's goal was to destroy three symbolic buildings; the WTC (commerce), the Pentagon (military) and the White House (political). The third was "sabotaged" by the passengers on board.
in other words, the death toll (large or small) wasn't the first consideration in the orchestration of the attacks
