Because it resulted in several attacks on our interests, and at least two wars in response. Any idea how much those cost?
I've got some folks in the ghetto I'd like to patrol. Don't want them causing any trouble. Care to chip in a few cents for my bazooka? I promise, I'll just walk around in the alley and let them know I'm there to make sure they behave themselves. And - - BONUS - - - You'll feel safer! And then, should I get shot at and shoot my bazooka here and there in self-defense, please book a first class flight and come personally to my defense. No big deal. Right?
You maybe trying to be cryptic, if that’s the case then you win because I honestly am not getting your analogy.
