YES, because OP is typing words that can be misconstrued as being a shill or a bigoted asshole. I'm smart enough to recognize it if you point it out, but I'm not fucking psychic, and I'm the kind of person who believes in dream prophesies so that just shows that neither potential delusion nor intelligence have anything to do with people misreading things online. It's just human and technical limitations, but your italics are clear so: if you don't want people to be annoyed at you, maybe respond without being condescending.
The terrorists in that case managed to outlast a billion/trillion $ anti-terrorism budget, I don't think the US had much negotiating power or a choice to not negotiate in that case. Ironic considering how many times that it's been the other way around.
