And our response had nothing to do with going after the perpetrators. Nation building and obsession with cheap oil. Conquering Iraq was a cake walk, managing it has been an enduring nightmare. Now we have ISIS which is a ticking time bomb. Countless loss of innocent lives and this continues.
It should also be remembered as, at best, a case of governmental unpreparedness or, at worst, a monstrously cynical effort to galvanize public support for a war of conquest.
