Why the lessons of 9/11 are wasted

‘No one seems aware any longer that there’s such a thing as a hostile external power that poses a graver threat to our existence than in-house systemic racism or micro-aggressions. In the Biden administration, our generals have been fixated not on international threats, or even on getting our troops safely out of Afghanistan, but on rooting out “white [hate] rage” in our own soldiers. Biden himself has encouraged our intelligence community to switch their focus from Islamist terrorism to domestic extremists on the right…..The lessons of 9/11 are wasted on us’ (Lionel Shriver - Telegraph U.K.)

In 2019, there were 31 homicides in the USA linked to Islamic terrorism, compared with 14,419 from general gun crime. I think it's all a matter of proportion . .

@Grvstu Massive problem, but the immediate existential threat is overwhelmingly domestic terrorism rather than an external enemy.
