These people build the nuclear technology that insure the power behind a country and they seem concerned about its progress and their progress …. You miss a key part of the story if you leave out that in the minds of those 19 individuals they were doing God's work.
I agree with you that the wars and trillions US spent did not solve the problem of Islamist extremist killers that want to kill those who do not believe as they do — including other Muslims. Poor guy got an audience that was dumb as f:ck lol then again he's not the best pubic speaker. Reuniting science with government is not complete without incorporating the humanities.
Knowing what we can accomplish needs to be tempered by knowing if we should. Our values are not adequately represented by science or government alone. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it. It's true that American government that entered The Jewish into Palastine and took it from it's people and act to be innocent. I don't find Rothkopf insightful whatsoever.
He's a slight hop step above a televangelist. Or rather, how the media is used to initiate, catalyze, produce, and advertise fear for Big Gov and Big Bus to get what they want, together.

Americans support climate change policies, especially those that give them incentives and clean up the energy supply.
Kyle Rittenhouse verdict is condemned on campus and abroad. Are scientists less prone to motivated reasoning? But the response that we had was clearly disproportionate — disproportionate to the point of verging on the unhinged. We rearranged the national security apparatus of the United States and of many governments to address a threat that, at the time that those attacks took place, was quite limited.
In fact, according to our intelligence services, on September 11, , there were members of core Al-Qaeda. There were just a few thousand terrorists.
They posed an existential threat to no one. But we rearranged our entire national security apparatus in the most sweeping way since the end of the Second World War. We launched two wars. We spent trillions of dollars.
We suspended our values. We violated international law. We embraced torture. We embraced the idea that if these 19 guys could do this, anybody could do it. And therefore, for the first time in history, we were seeing everybody as a threat. And what was the result of that? Surveillance programs that listened in on the emails and phone calls of entire countries — hundreds of millions of people — setting aside whether those countries were our allies, setting aside what our interests were.
I would argue that 15 years later, since today there are more terrorists, more terrorist attacks, more terrorist casualties — this by the count of the U. State Department — since today the region from which those attacks emanate is more unstable than at any time in its history, since the Flood, perhaps, we have not succeeded in our response. Now you have to ask, where did we go wrong? What did we do? What was the mistake that was made? And you might say, well look, Washington is a dysfunctional place.
