well, here's the beast of it: since in the new post-nationalist 
paradigm these people are stateless, there's no way to fight them 
except through domestic fascism. which will occur - USA controls the 
phone lines and Mossad monitors them, which is why so few attacks 
have occurred so far.

also, they'll simply get simplistic and start barring non-Jewish 
Semitic males from America (read: Arabs). while there may be a number 
of things insane about that, it will cut down the potential terrorist 
population, although this afternoon's events at a marine base were 
inspiring :)

a foregone conclusion except for those who speak up - i'm not 
necessarily criticizing your response here, but better to stand and 
fight than accept?
