Sir, I'm afraid you've disarmed me. Touche.
Wait a minute. I think my surrender was premature.
We've 'meddled' (meaning, huge $$$ foreign aid packages) in the affairs of lots of countries, but none have attacked us like this.
We weren't meddled with Japan when they attacked us. We were pretty isolationist at the time.
Besides, you can't turn it around and say, it's your fault because these religious nuts are attacking you?
