"Will Joe Sixpack have the patience and perseverance when the body bags start coming home?"

I worry less about Joe Sixpack and more about the "intelligentsia". It's not Joe Sixpack who is on the TV yacking about the need for moderation and how the US may have had it coming. . .

Will Joe Sixpack have the patience and perseverance when the body bags start coming home?

That's an interesting point, for you are assuming that the body bags are "coming home." What if the body bags are right here? What if every two weeks another building full of people blows up, or another airliner drops out of the sky, right into a nuclear power plant?

Does Joe Sixpack sue for peace, or he does demand the nuclear annihilation of however many it takes to make it stop?

I think you know the answer. I suspect our foes do not. I suspect they are stupid enough to stage another attack, perhaps before we even begin ours on them. God help them if they do.
