Hmm...well said and point taken. Fact is, we'd better not dive into violence too easily because we do it a little too well.

The European intelligentsia like to pretend that their countrymen were so traumatized by the events of the 20th century that they have renounced violence forever like the civilized people they really are, and presumably we are not. I have to chuckle a little. Where do they think we learned it?

Well, with the Europeans, you’re dealing with nitwits who call putting underwear on the heads of terrorist prisoners at Abu Ghraib a war crime, but then they’ll gleefully beat the living hell out of somebody from the other side of town over a soccer game.
