"so what would Paul have done about 9/11?"

Isn't the important question what we do starting today, and moving forward? (No matter how good the 'hindsight', still can't go back in time and change anything....)

"It seems as if he would have done nothing but shrug his shoulders and say,"

I have no idea what would possibly give you an idea like that. He isn't, (& to my knowledge, never has been), opposed to the clear logic of defending yourself when attacked. :-)

(If attacked, say by a 'non-state actor' like a terrorist group, you hit back HARD at the terrorist group, *and* at any state that is giving them support. Don't see where that perfectly sensible and oft effective after-the-fact response is in any way in conflict with a parallel track goal like... trying to be more clever and effective in achieving strategic aims through national policies....)
