Pipes: However bizarre this goal, the killing of five thousand Americans requires that it be noted and seriously considered.

LLAN-DDEUSANT: I don't know whether to laugh or to actually worry that some Americans actually feel the slightest bit of threat about this.

Don't laugh. 5000 fewer Americans have the opportunity to feel threatened, or not, than a few months ago.
