Opinion | What Comes After the 9/11 Era?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : And everyone I knew who was even the least bit conservative (a category that included many Democrats) was ready to invade Iraq -- and probably Syria and Iran for good measure.
36% : Even in 2015, it was still potent enough that Colby was reportedly blackballed from a job as foreign policy director for Jeb Bush's campaign, because of his insufficient enthusiasm about a potential conflict with Iran.
25% : All other challenges are secondary: Terrorism can be managed with "smaller footprint operations," the liberal Trump-era fixation on Vladimir Putin mistakes a sideshow for the main event and the longstanding Republican focus on rogue states like Iran and North Korea is equally misguided.
