<Consider it a post 9/11 categorical imperative... >

Consider this :

- for decades, India/Pakistan have had terrorist thingammies happen in the Kashmir region. 10's of thousands dead so far.

- for decades, Israel and its neighbors have had terrorist thingamies happen. 10's of thousands dead so far.

- for decades, IRA and UK have had terrorist thingammies happen. 10's of thousands dead so far.

- 9/11 : death count < 3000. I'm not minimizing the atrocity, trying to put it in perspective with events around the world.

Where was the US sense of "we have a mandate to fix things our way" during these decades ?
