No, just you. But it's natural for certain type people to believe that everyone else secretly agrees with them.

Hey B-boy. You suffer under the delusions of someone who lives in his parent's basement. Man, you need to get out more.

Go upstairs and take a bath. It's Saturday night for gawdsakes.

Not everyone, but a lot more than you obviously believe. Realistically, most of us probably feel we'd very much *like* to nuke Mecca under those circumstances, but know that it would not be the thing to do. But some seriously heavy handed retaliation would certainly be in order

During the Iranian hostage incident in 1979 it was my opinion then that we should have made it clear we would take out (I mean level) a section of the city, or another suitable target, unless the hostages were released. I have never wavered from that belief.

I suspect the Soviets were not subjected to similar humiliation because it was believed they would willing do just that.
