Summary

This quote refers to the aftermath of the September 11th attacks and the response from the US government. It suggests that immediately following the event, before any proper assessment or investigation occurred, there was a sense of satisfaction or excitement within the administration. This perceived reaction implies that some individuals may have seen it as an opportunity to justify invading Iraq and subsequently advocated for military action, as evidenced by the mention of "war drums." The quote suggests a level of preconceived agenda rather than a truly objective response.

When I was younger, my whole sense of self-worth was based on whether or not I was working, which was awful. And I had a baby at 20 years old, so it wasn't just about me. At around the age of 30 there was a stretch where I wasn't working - certainly not on anything I liked, anyway - and I started to do other things.
