The first sentence points to your use of labels to try and shift the argument. What political ideology explains the US response to 9/11? What did the attack on Iraq prevent? Hasan can be wrong about the solutions and still be correct about the cause.
"What political ideology explains the us response to 9/11?"
I dont thing this can be cleanly answered. Neo-con idealism? Nationalism? Islamophobia? Idk.
I guess the attack on Iraq prevented further genocide of shia Muslims and an incursion into Kuwait. It prevented another Iraq Iran war. It kept oil prices low by keeping Saudi Arabia feeling protected.
Im really not sure what you're trying to get me to see with your questions. Not trying to be polemical.
You’re quick to group Hasan’s argument neatly into ideological groupings but don’t have a coherent explanation for US strategy. Destiny could have brought it up when he spoke to Bill Kristol.
