I don't think this is even remotely similar to changing things like "foreign policy" and "operating procedure for dealing with extremist groups."
In the rape scenario, there are clear-cut, common sense, easy methods to help obviate (although not eliminate - that is an important distinction) the dangers.
In the foreign policy scenario, answers are never clear-cut, common sense is second to 'best interests'/long-term planning/idealogy of a nation, and the methods implemented are difficult, volitile and results are distant.
Let's put it this way: outside of some nebulous "US foreign policy", which actions EXACTLY lead to 9/11? Give specific examples. If you want to start with support for Israel, you've probably already lost any basis for further argument . . .
