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.
ahoy Soot!

the folks who smashed them planes into our country on 9/11 were indeed a rare breed...i could only aspire to execute such a masterful strike against our country if i were just a simple villager.

in this yer absolutely right.

i could, perhaps, fashion an IED, though...'tis hard to say.

i would say that a pissed off Afghani citizen who directs thar last breath to seekin' revenge on our country might result in Fishjoel comin' back to our nation in a coffin.

i'd say that would be plenty. i like Fishjoel, though we disagree quite often...and his passin' would grieve me.
