"On the other side, there are those who think that the worldview and behavior of terrorists is at least a somewhat rational response to our alleged sins, like neocolonialism. Thus, it is our fault for driving them to despair, and it is wrong for us to defend ourselves, because we will only exacerbate their fury, which would, of course, eventually disappear were we to be accommodating, and eager to answer their outrages with appeasement."
