We have our backs to the wall like Pearl Harbor.
Mention of that last great airborne onslaught on the US is a reminder that the Japanese, too, used suicide bombers to devastating effect during the closing stages of the Second World War. The kamikaze was a nightmarish weapon to defend against, but its use by an increasingly desperate Imperial regime did not have the intended effect of deterring American attacks on the Japanese homeland.

On the contrary, such attacks intensified; and the decision to deploy the ultimate weapon, the atomic bomb, against Hiroshima and Nagasaki was in part justified by the fear that kamikaze tactics would oblige an Allied invasion of Japan to suffer very high casualties (the figure of a million dead, though exaggerated, was widely believed). Those who use airliners as human missiles to strike against America will find that condign retaliation is no empty threat: the US armed forces have used overwhelming force to defeat the kamikaze threat before, and they will doubtless do so again.
