You know the answer: Political Correctness (PC).
PC was largely responsible for the deaths of 241 Marines and Sailors in the October 1983 Beirut bombing (sponsored/financed by the islamic republic of iran). PC has killed lots of Americans/Westerners in the past 30-40 years. PC is responsible for the current Rules of Engagement. PC will continue to kill many more.
The irony is that PC kills liberals as much as it kills anyone else.

Political Correctness was also responsible for 9/11.
A lot of FBI, CIA and NSA officials during the beginning of Bush's first term and 9/11 were holdovers from the Clinton Administration who didn't want to "ethnic profile" and be "racist" against Muslims.
And don't forget that Clinton let Bin Laden get away when Sudan offered to hand him over to the U.S. because he didn't want to offend Muslims.
