I hope you are right about western products being "bait" for western values. I'm skeptical. But would root for your view to be correct.

The question here is this: did we “forswear” a military response in order to appease, or because we lacked the will needed for a military response, or because we recognized that a military response was not likely to be effective against this particular threat?

I think it amounted to appeasement in fact. Though likely no one consciously intended that.
