I hate to say it but NY and DC are sort of a win/win for us. The folks AQ will kill mostly support them or at least want to "understand why they hate us" and the next election cycle will produce a US govt. that will crush radical muslims. It's all good, isn't it? Glad that my wife and children are your collateral.
Your post is unspeakable, and an apology is in order.
I am sorry but the physics are simple and the political ramifications predictable. An event of the sort spoken about here has been inevitable for decades. That it hasn't happened yet is due only the quiet effort of many fine men and women over the years. Many such have died willingly defending us from what we all know is inevitable. Eventually the fingers in the dike will not be enough.
I am not being cold or heartless, much less "despicable". The world is as it is and people are as they are.
The President's current operations are going very well indeed. If we proceed on the course he has set for us I do not think we will have any serious nuclear terrorism problems. If an "anti-war" congress and administration come to power then we will.
I have a list of stuff to take and of people to ask to come with me if or when it comes time to help. It is better for those of us of mature years to do this sort of work than to ask the young to do it. I am determined and know enough to dread the necessity.
You might like my #161. It is a hard boiled analysis. War is too important to let emotion cloud understanding and hinder correct action.
