they arent smarter
we are less guarded
we are much smarter, but decided "nobody would never do that"
we dont protect that which we regard not to be at risk
in their eyes we are stupid and strange

Westerners prefer to be logical
"nobody would intentionally blow himself up"
wrong

Our pseudo-Islamic enemy operates very irrationally
and that confuses us in the West

they arent smarter, rather, they are more daring demented and devilish
not to mention apparently desperate and depressed that their culture is slowly yielding to modern times

this is a nasty sicko thing to say
but the photo of Ayatollah Khomeini looked like the devil to me
all the while, claiming US to be the Great Satan

we must become imaginative in our security
I know plenty of companies hire hackers to attempt breakins
some museums hire thieves to point out weaknesses

the United States must LISTEN to anti-terrorism experts already in our employ
and put the DoGooder Politically Correct people in a cage

Smarter? No, I don't think so.

It didn't take "smarts" to do what they did. It takes an innocent and distracted victim as well as a plan. The plan was by no means sophisticated. Any one of us could have come up with it.

It is important for all of us to under no circumstances be cowed or feel inferior to the scum who are attacking us.
