Maybe I am old fashioned. But my belief is that if Islamofascist Moslems attack Americans within our country and it can be shown they are not from external sources, as was 9/11 but from sources within our country, the American people will rise up like Vigilantes of the old west and settle matters ourselves. This is not a helpless populance such as France or Great Britian, most of us, myself included are ARMED TO THE TEETH and many of us have prior military training and are quite capable of using our weapons.

You are old fashioned in an old fashioned kind of way.
Here is a similar sentiment from another American:

"It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
- Patrick Henry, 1775
