If someone wont care about a distinction that they should care about, and intentionally misunderstand me or misinterprit then thats on them, I care very little.
The fact is these two are hugely different things to anyone being honest with themselves. So if you treat them as the same then thats your problem, not mine.
As for 911, no we didnt bring it on ourselves. But we did make it a point to ensure we responded exactly the way the terrorists wanted and literally fell in line and immediately let the terrorists win.
