In his memoirs ‘Known and Unknown’, published in 2011, Donald Rumsfeld says that the US responses to all terrorist attacks have not been adequate. He thought those who dared to attack the US interest, even on American territory, have managed to get away with murder. As he became George W. Bush’s Defence Secretary on January 20, 2001, eight months before the September 11 terror attack on New York and Washington, Rumsfeld, a veteran of three previous Republican administrations, seized on the opportunity to “fix” those historic mistakes. Rumsfeld, who died last Tuesday, is best known as the architect of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, considered as one of the most disastrous foreign policy decisions in US history. In his book, he says that when ‘terrorists’ hit the US again and again, subsequent administrations failed to retaliate in a proper way, thus may have indirectly encouraged other terrorists.
