I don't think that is a fair formulation, pretty much everyone agrees that we should do everything in our power to prevent even one attack ... the disagreement is over how to prevent that attack.

Fair point...

The nub of the argument is over the definition of "everything in our power".

I think we could probably completely stop further attacks, but the apparatus required to do so would resemble a locked-down police state.

Is that what we want?

I think they are two different issues.
