Realistically, though, there was what looked very much like an act of war on American soil. We had this gigantic military sitting around. We were definitely going to invade some country. It seemed like a good choice at the time?

Heck, we used 9/11 as an excuse to invade Iraq because of some crazy neo-con dream of “remaking the Middle East.” But yeah, when you have a hammer, you start looking for people with nail shaped hats.
