许多袭击没有被阻止的原因不是因为不可能预测到犯罪者的行动，而是因为有人搞砸了。

It implies that the responsibility for an individuals violent extremism lies solely with the individual themselves.

这意味着一个人的暴力极端主义的责任完全在于他自己。

The truth is much more disturbing.

真相则更令人不安。

Terrorism is not something you do by yourself, it is highly social.
