OT rant "About time for some aggressive moves on these savages."
isn't that just the pavlovian reaction that they want? i mean, during the time of the 3 beheadings in the middle east, we've had 4 beheadings in the u.s. (those 2 kids in a project on the east, and the 2 guys in hollywood.) by contrast, the middle east cases all involve people who willingly walk into a dangerous situation because its lucrative.
i don't mean to defend anyone here, i'm just making a case for proportional response: terrorists seek to terrorize. they want a response. but what we need is a plan. um, one that will work.
