(27,461 posts)and it's a pattern.
Remember David Horowitz, writing an article after the beheadings, "Thank You, Isis", because the beheadings woke people up to the danger of Islam?
Remember various RWers longing for the glorious post-911 days, Mike Gallagher comes to mind, when the country was "united", meaning the government was not questioned when it came to matters of war, and hoping for another 9/11 that would shut up the Bush critics?
