People whose emotions are shut down, i.e., who don't have access to their
emotions, do all the things you describe below. They just don't have
access to their emotions, that's all. That's why years after most people
get over a significant trauma like 9/11, some people wind up with PTSD.
There is no other way to describe why five years after the fact you are
still so exercised over 9/11 and why you advocate torture and thinking,
like Stalin, that simply accusing someone is enough to kill them, and
worse, that applying those techniques in the eternity that it will take to
win this "war" is good and proper.
