I said "taking over the world." I didn't say "blowing up a chunk of our home turf and population."
Oh. Well, actually, all the Japanese did at Pearl Harbor was blow up a chunk of our home turf and population. Right?
Maybe we should nuke Mecca. [That's a private joke, folks. Don't get all exercised.]
Maybe they should get all exercised. I've seriously proposed it as a practical solution.
"The next time one of you clowns does anything remotely like that to us or anyone in the Americas or Europe, Mecca turns into glowing gas."
How's that?
How about Laz For President? You think OBL might lose his appetite for Westerners with that as forfeit?
Germany and Japan had already taken over a pretty good chunk of the world, the relevant world, anyway.
I specifically mentioned Japan. THey attacked us in December 1941. A deal with the British a few months later said EUROPE FIRST! Japan was on the back burner until May 1945. The ETO got the lion's share of American men and material. And spite of that in that period of time we drove them back to their home islands.
The Islamicist risk at this point in time pales to the point of disappearing in comparison.
So how many times 3000 are you prepared to lose before it DOES get serious? How many more threats to and curbs on your civil liberties? How much more in terms of your freedom of movement?
This isn't a Boy Scout troop we're dealing with, dear. They mean to do as much damage and kill as many as they can.
You sure can turn things around.
No, madam. I am not the one who threw in a totally irrelevant topic.
Once more for the record, my point was about fear, not response to an attack.
Attacks generate fear, madam. In this particular case, that was, in fact, the specific intent.
My argument is that you're fearful while I'm not fearful
You sure have forgotten 9/11/2001 quickly. |
