Be the person Captain Picard would want you to be.

Comparing the attacks and India’s response to 9/11 is apt because America’s response led to America wasting billions if not trillions of dollars fighting a series of wars that had the primary effect of making people hate us even more than they did before, and also led our national politics down an ever stupider road than we were on before and let us directly to the point where we have our own tinpot dictator.

If history should teach us anything, it’s that America’s response to 9/11 is the absolute opposite of what one should do when attacked, if one wants to have a better long-term outcome.
