I HOPE we can count on a half-planet’s support. From the lack of reaction to the base and inhuman treatment heretofore leaked out in drips and drabs, my assessment is that this sort of provocation has managed a collective, somewhat stifled yawn by the other half of the world.
My first point would be to take heart that the western world tends to do nothing, right up to the point that doing nothing is no longer an option. Then it goes berserk.
My second point would be that we don't need to count on anyone else. Each of us can personally commit to bringing Hell to these people, individually, personally, and inevitably. The rest of the planet's cooperation be damned. Lead, follow, or get out of the way, but *I* am going through regardless.
