I can only hope that eventually they will realize that they're only hurting themselves and that trying to stand against our military is futile. Of course, if they were reasonable people, this would have likely happened a long time ago, so what choice do we have except to root out all the unreasonable people? We reach an impasse when we realize that there are only unreasonable people or that people are driven to be unreasonable by our actions.

Ahhh, isn't pre-emptive imperialistic strikes fun.

Glad you're enjoying it. All the cheerleaders for terrorists are.
