And if 9/11 changed everything the terrorists won. I think even if you think it changed everything, from a purely PR perspective it is asinine to say so. I don't happen to think it changed everything, myself.

From Cato: cato.org "In 1998, Cato's Ivan Eland wrote a Briefing Paper entitled "Does U.S. Intervention Overseas Breed Terrorism? The Historical Record." In it, he argued that U.S. policy concentrates too much on apprehending and retaliating to terrorism instead of examining its motivation and root causes. He concluded that "the United States could reduce the chances of such devastating--and potentially catastrophic--terrorist attacks by adopting a policy of military restraint overseas." cato.org [From the article ... 1998 remember] "In fact, the interventionist foreign policy currently pursued by the United States is an aberration in its history. Adopting a policy of military restraint would return the United States to the traditional foreign policy it pursued for the first century and a half of its existence before the Cold War distorted it. Such a foreign policy is more compatible with the individual freedoms and economic prosperity that define the American way of life."
