America decided we were going to stand by and let Americans die at the hands of terrorists a long time ago.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The United States should have stepped up and destroyed ISIS at its origins rather than wait until ISIS grew their capabilities and influence.
Right after the tragedy, President Bush asked Americans to get on with their lives and we did.
The United States did not choose to fight Islamic extremists. These terrorists chose to fight our way of life. They chose to challenge our existence.
Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.
We're still stymied by the old stand-off between those who wish to fight terrorism and resistance fighters.
We were in opposition to the decision to go to war. But after the war happened, it was clear that you could not sit and look-there would be a breeding ground for terrorism or a new collapsed or failed state named Iraq!
After September 11, when the United States took action to overthrow the Taliban, our interests and Iran's aligned, and we were able to coordinate quietly but effectively.
We thought that whatever we wanted to do was right and good, simply because we were Americans, and we would succeed at it because we were Americans.
We have to remain vigilant, and we have to continue to take the fight to the terrorist.
They were unable to stand up and say: 'Here's our policy. It's Unite the world against terrorism.'
