"Although I doubt any al Qaeda terrorists read my blog, I thought I'd offer the terrorist organization a bit of public-relations advice. Don't," writes Bill Hobbs of Hobbs Online in an open letter to those wonderful folks who brought you 9/11:
We didn't have to invade and liberate Iraq and try to help it become a democracy. We could have pushed a few buttons and made Kabul and Baghdad disappear. We didn't because we're the opposite of your dysfunctional, godless, immoral, backwards, oppressive failure of a society. We pulled our punches. We sent in the reconstruction crews right behind the armor and the infantry.
We didn't have to. We had -- and still have -- another option. One that would absolutely guarantee the end of the Islamofacist terror threat.
I bet that, if you blow up an American shopping mall and kill a bunch of innocent American kids and parents while they munch some Chik Fil A, or stand in line at Build-a-Bear or try on clothes at The Gap, a whole lot more Americans are going to reach the tipping point. The one where we say enough is enough, push the Instant Win button.
This is the argument our i-mail correspondent was making last night. She worries that the barbarians at the gate continue to turn our civilized ways against us.
