False Prophecy : Nostradamus and 9/11

This site explains the claim that the French Physician and Astrologer, Nostradamus (1503-1566), predicted the attacks on the US on September 11, 2001. Apparently, people claim that Nostradamus wrote several quatrains predicting the attacks. However, one of the most revealing quatrains or poems which apparently predicts the attacks of 9/11 was penned in 1654, meaning it's impossible for Nostradamus to have written that prophecy. The actual poems / prophetic writings are listed on the web page where the author of the page attempts to completely debunk them. I cannot see how there are people out there who actually believe that a man from the 16th century could have possibly predicted an event nearly 500 years in the future, but whatever. This alleged prophecy just seems to me to be a coincidence which certain people have fabricated into something which relates to the events that took place on September 11.
