"I have very little doubt, we WILL use nukes again in our lifetime. America may be brought down one day. But our NATURE is one of rebelling against oppressors no matter the cost, to the last man, woman and child. They have NO idea how fiercely independent and stubborn we are. Viscious and brave, with ZERO fear at the event horizon."

I agree. The islamists do not understand the American mind. They do not understand our history. They do not understand how we think at all. They greatly underestimate us. They mistake our compassion for weakness. They judge us by their own pathetic standards. This will be their undoing. We may be knocked down, but we will come back fighting with a vengeance. Many of us grew up with the threat of nuclear war over our heads. We see it as the unspeakable action that requires a swift and decisive response. I believe we are hardened to retaliate if and when that time comes. As horrific as it was, flying airplanes into buildings did not incite us to the type of action that a nuclear attack would. The islaminazis have not seen our American-style righteous anger fully acted out yet.

First, you write splendidly.

Second, you are correct that they don't understand us. But at the same time we don't understand the Arab mind or the Muslim mind. If we did, we would all be signing up to join the armed forces.
