I always like the statement that by attacking we're only going to make them "mad"...
Like they could get any more mad - in both senses of the word.
"Defending against the madmen will only make the madmen mad."
Good. It's easier to spot and kill the raging mad ones.
I certainly agree. How do you get more mad than to take out as many as 50,000 innocent people? Thankfully they didn't pull that off.
