I agree. I've never figured out how a bunch of ruthless, cruel thugs who would sell their own grandmothers got to be considered cute, cuddly, patriotic folk-heroes.

I don't think they'd have any problem working with AQ, for the right price. They might want to make sure the nuke went to some other city than their own, of course, but then again, they might just try to be out of town that day.

Because deep down many folks envy the way they are portrayed in the movies. A bunch of guys who do what they please, inspire fear, and have a circle of loyal friends.
Take your typical junior vice president of accounting in a $200 suit and a crushing mortgage who has to say "yes sir" all day to some shlub in a corner office and doesn't even get respect from the chick ringing up his order at the local Mickey D's -- the "as advertised" lifestyle of the bad guys looks pretty good.
