Pardon me? NY and DC also have Americans living in them. ~And my family in both..
Flyover country looks better all the time.
I certainly do not wish any of your loved ones dead. The simple fact I was alluding to is that in these large cities the "cut and run" liberals who don't seem to understand that we are at war and there are only historically two outcomes to war and have already forgotten 9/11 predominate. We face appeasers that make Chamderlain seem like a warmonger. Unfortunately, it appears to me that there will be a much greater loss of life ultimately if we appease the jihadis, so even if we suffer a loss that might otherwise be unthinkable, if it gets us off our ass and motivates the folks at home into really getting serious about winning this war in the end fewer will die. It is unfortunate that such an event would be what it takes.
Like all of you I thought 9/11 would do it but it seems it hasn't.
