I just realized that this has similarities to the September 11th 2001 (9/11) terrorist attack. A relatively small investment resulted in the USA invading Iraq, which had absolutely nothing to do with it, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, indebting the US population for a few trillion dollars, and generally causing a ridiculous over-reaction in just about every way possible. Has anyone seen any comparisons yet? If not I can't imagine it won't last. Both are astonishing failures of civil leadership and governance.
