People who had been favored with an awful lot of help over the years by Saddam Hussein attacked us. And an awful lot of non-Iraqis are the ones actually fighting against us in Iraq.
Other than that, you and Pat Buchanan are correct. If we limit ourselves to carefully controlled and easily anticipated responses to each attack, while relying on our national borders to protect us, we should come through just fine. Depending on your definition of "fine," of course.
