Which amounts to what, exactly?
Not to be a downer, but what're we gonna do, flame them on the 'net?
We've got a healthy bloc of well-armed citizens among our ranks, but they're not going to be boots-on-the-ground in theater -- ever. And, apart from going the totally black ops mercenary route and taking these terrorist scum down with individually prescribed lead pills, what other recourse have we got? None.
Look, I agree with the sentiment that we need to be involved and DO more than just tap away at our keybords, but, at times like this, we've got to admit that there are areas, like this, in which we are almost completely impotent to act.
Frustrating? Hell, yes!
I'd much rather be studying the effects of sustained fully-automatic weapon fire on terrorists, myself, but it just ain't gonna happen. This one's up to The Big Man and local help on the ground over there, and we've got to just be okay with that.
I know what you mean, it just hits close to home. Fox News is on in my house almost 24 hours a day and it feels personal.
