Potentially triggering, I am curious how America's would have felt if the script instead declared that Al-Qaeda achieved their aims in the US through terrorism. I am struggling to understand why what happened was acceptable, but this alternative is clearly not.

Ah yes, the old argument that establishing Caliphate in all lands is the same as Ireland declaring independence... Get your head out of your ass.

If your life had been impacted by the terrorism in Ireland, perhaps you would be more sensitive to the issue, instead of being abusive.
