I must take exception to the idea that the USA private citizen response will resemble that of the Israelis.

I do not imply any derogatives to the people of Israel.

Different cultures respond differently to organized terrorist activity.Ireland and England basked in the bloodshed for decades.Germany tried them in abstentia and shot them on sight.

Terrorists are not a new species.Terrorists attacking the civilians of the USA, in the CONUS, are now an indisputable fact of life.

I can relate to you now, that those in the military in the 1970-80s timeframe, who lived in foreign country's, imagined the time that this barbaric blight of humanity would hit the USA at home.

We have not the patience nor the level of statist inculcated guilt to tolerate the atrocity that other cultures have endured.

All hell will break out soon.It has been known for decades that the people of the USA will not play the "game" the same way the europeans did.

Hell is soon to be unleashed.The choice was made long ago, the extent of chaos is the only true subject of debate.

Lock and load.

I fully agree. Nonetheless, the terrorists will make attempts here just as they have done in Israel.

But as I said in the first post above, such attempts in the end will amount to nothing for them.

I tend to agree with you. The day there is a suicide bombing at a mall in Minneapolis or Denver is the day that the Middle-East needs to start preparing to become Uncle Sam's bitch. I don't believe there are too many US citizens that would stand for that. I think 90% of the population would demand that we go over there and destroy the Culture of Death that permeates mid-eastern society. I also believe that we have a President that would be quite happy to take action. The difference between Israel and the US is they can really only play defense against the terror they face, we will take the fight to the terrorist. The day there is a palestinian suicide bomber that kills Americans on American soil is the day all Palestinians on the west bank need to start packing their bags for Jordan.

Yeah we were really effective against the Washington snipers who, I believe, would still be killing people off, one by one, if they had not called the police themselves. .</sarcasm>

I'm not directing this at sarasmom but at everyone else out there (like me) who have Red Dawn fantasies and just want to kick a little terrorist a$$. If "Hell" and "Chaos" is the cure, we should prefer the disease. Let's hope the fight stays on enemy turf, and if it doesn't, lets support our trained and ordained enforcement authorities and try to leave the action to them.
