This all must be really exciting to the IRA. I hope they don't try to out do them. I am shocked that they hit the same place twice. I reasoned they were taking a western tour. I was wrong. Still I find it very very odd that they haven't hit soft targets here in the states since 911.
They are certainly capable and unafraid to do it. Brace yourselves, it is only a matter of time.
I am one who believes in non-intervention, but if we pulled out of Iraq now it would convince them they can control our foreign policy via terror. If I were in charge, I'd say for every person they kill, we will stay one week longer.
I suggest we cut off a Gitmo prisoner's head for every incident. Then bury the corpses in pig fat. Film it and broadcast it on the Internet.
