A Terrorist Pearl Harbor

The world is a different place after the massive terrorist attacks on the United States yesterday, much as it was after the bombing of Pearl Harbor nearly 60 years ago; a new kind of war has been declared on the world's democracies. Just as Munich led to World War II, so attempts to buy peace in the Middle East are surely behind this attack.

Need a few Colonal Jimmy Dolittle raids, once it is clear who did this (it is becoming clear by the hour), to give these b@st@rds some familiar company in hell. Depending on how extensive this is tied to a specific country, the ante might get raised to give them a nice unhealthy glow too.

"In Gaza, the crowds rejoiced."

We missed our opportunity to place a few fuel-air explosives in the midst of the celebration; but here's a modest proposal. We need to fake a massive destructive attack on some remote U.S. military facility to get them dancing in the streets again, then disperse the FAE's to barbeque the dirtbags!

From not too long ago

A Terrorist Pearl Harbor The Wall Street Journal
Posted on 09/11/2001

"In this they have certainly miscalculated, just as Tojo's war planners miscalculated in believing Pearl Harbor would leave America with no taste for war. The upshot of this is likely to be a serious turn on a number of fronts. Intelligence, for example; how could the CIA and FBI have no advance indication of so large an event? Homeland defense, for another; can anyone now continue to doubt that someday people like those who conducted yesterday's events will have missiles that can threaten U.S. cities at 30 minutes warnings?"

"What most needs to be recognized, though, is that the terrorism has a political purpose. It is intended to intimidate America into standing aside humiliated while the Arab despots and fanatics destroy Israel and thereby prove that freedom and democracy are not after all the wave of the future. We can honor yesterday's dead by rallying our diplomatic, moral, financial and as necessary military resources to insure that that purpose is convincingly defeated."
