Our culture cannot frame a world in which there is no "enemy" because we've had one since the earliest beginnings of our history. As such, the crime of terrorism is reframed as the war of ideas.

You're absolutely right - if we'd treated the 2001 attack on the WTC the way we'd treated the 1993 attack on the WTC, the world would be a very different place indeed.
