One reason they can cheer is that they know we would never do to them what their heroes did to us, even though we could, a thousand times worse. They know that when we hunt down the monsters, we will try hard not to harm the innocent. Those are the handcuffs we willingly wear, because for all our flaws, we are a decent people.

Those who cheered should get what those who planned and executed this plan should get. There's nothing indecent about wiping out not only the terrorists but those who give them succor - even if it's just a cheerleading section.

To them, we're all mortal enemies.

And now they're right.

plenty of people have died "just for being X". Lately we've taken to calling that "collateral damage". Hopefully now standards that find this sort of thing acceptable will change

Islam must be brought, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century. Nuclear weapons are not imcompatible with a culture war. We did it to Japan and we will do it to the muslims. They will not be permitted to preserve their bronze age blood lust.

Dave Barry has made me laugh so hard so many times to the point of tears I can't tell you...

Now he has just moved me to tears.

Ironic that it is a humorist who is capable of writing one of the best pieces about this horror I have seen.

Just goes to prove what I have always said about a good sense of humor being proof of a great mind.

COME AND TAKE IT

God Bless Dave Barry, and America.

Thanks for the flag.

Those who would destroy it only make us see more clearly how precious it is.

And this is the fundamental flaw these people always fail to grasp. Instead of weakening us, this will strengthen our resolve more than they could have ever imagined.
