The Administration’s response will be that we look at ourselves in the mirror and ask what the west has done to provoke this. The west gets attacked, and it will be the west’s fault.
Yes there are people who think like that.
I have looked in the mirror, and had an epiphany. We really did provoke this. They murdered our citizens, destroyed our buildings, invaded our countries, AND WE LET THEM! WE NEGOTIATED WITH THEM! We must not fail to destroy them utterly in the future. Leave no two stones standing on top of the other. Pax Romana, yes. But Pax Jimmuh, Clinton, Bush, Obama has failed to yield the desired result. So Pax Romana it is.
