I would not wish to fight the United States — either militarily, politically, or culturally. For every threat, our history teaches us that Americans offer not just a rejoinder, but the specter of a devastating answer of a magnitude almost inconceivable to those now chanting and threatening in the streets of the Middle East.
Do they have any idea of what sort of dangerous people we really are? Do they understand the history of the names of those ships now off their coasts, like the USS Peleliu or Enterprise, or the pedigree of the 82nd or 101st Airborne?

That's the one. We smile and shake our heads at these "protest marches" in Iraq. "Freedom of speech" we say.

But let them get out of hand, or in any way appear to be "with the terrorists," and they, too, will learn the history of those names.
