why do ye say things like this, mate? ye seem like a good and reasonable fellow, and them words ye scribed strike me as kinda monsterous.

i be a godfather to me nephew, a young lad just 8 months old. if such a thing like this happened to that laddy, i hafta think that meself, me brother, and a host 'o me own family members would make it our personal mission to strike back at this country in the most merciless manner that we could muster.

You'd probably want to.

You'd probably want to really, really baddly.

But you probably couldn't.

You'd probably be just as impotent in the face of America as you are in the face of whatever militant group happened to be ordering you and your family around on any given day.

9/11 wasn't pulled off by a bunch of pissed off cave dwellers.

The folks who actually make successful terrorists, in so far as attacking the United States is concerned, are worldly, educated, smart, and have the backing of some of the most sophisticated criminal conspirators the world has ever seen.

It's not like we bomb some mud farmer's kid on Monday, he joins the Jihad on Tuesday, and is in Times Square blowing himself up by the following Thursday, noonish.

Those people over there don't present a threat. There's no reason to blow their capabilities all out of proportion and imagine a threat that doesn't exist.

About the best "you" could do is attack some Marines over in Helmand.

And I guess maybe you'd "get" one or two before they got you. But they would get you, and then your corpse would get thrown in the pile like cordwood and that would be the end of the story.

That's why I don't really care.

A pissed off Afghan is about as dangerous to me as a pissed off Afghan snake.

Neither of them will ever be in a position to bite me.
