Possible further proof that they dont understand us.
This article if true, indicates further that the islamofacists and mullocrats really don’t understand the American psyche. This passage is particularly illuminating:
The memo, obtained by the Arizona Republic newspaper, said the unidentified detainee revealed he hoped to create several large, catastrophic wildfires at once.
“The detainee believed that significant damage to the U.S. economy would result and once it was realized that the fires were terrorist acts, U.S. citizens would put pressure on the U.S. government to change its policies,” the memo said.
Right. And the change that we would demand would be the carpet-nuking of the entire islamic world. Hardly what the Al Qaeda types would find helpful to their cause. That we have a few very vocal pacifists in this nation does not indicate that this nation will roll over and play dead if we get attacked again. I truly believe that another terrorist attack on U.S. soil will result in an outcry reminiscent of Delenn from Babylon 5: “Animals! Brutal. They deserve no mercy. Strike them down. Follow them to their bases… and kill them, all of them. No mercy! NO MERCY!”.
Somehow, I don’t think that would be very beneficial for anyone involved. But then again, Americans have a penchant for overkill. Remember Dresden? Remember Hiroshima?
