WTF? We blinked yesterday. Who said anything about 9/11?

[Loyolas Mattman]

To your mind, terrorists attack when America blinks. What "blinking" caused 9/11?

Terrorists attack because they are nihilists. It is their nature, it's what they do and who they are.

If you accept the principle that if we do X, the terrorists will do Y, then the next logical step is that if we don't do A, the terrorists won't do B. Which opens the door to negotiating with terrorists, which I bet neither of us would be willing to do.
