  Don't mind Renegade Iconoclast, he doesn't care about American citizens, alive or dead, he only cares about Israel. When you mention blowback all he can think about are the poor Israelis being shelled by evil terrorists. Never once does it cross his mind that American support for this atrocity could lead to dead Americans in the form of terrorist retaliation. He doesn't care.

  That's quite an analysis. Did you go to school to learn to be such a condescending p___k, or does it just come naturally?

  As to your assertion that I care nothing for my fellow Americans, I'm not surprised that you have to resort to ad-hominem arguments to make your point, it's the first resort of imbeciles. (See? I can do it too! Yay! Are we done with that now?)

  I will respond to your accusation, however, but perhaps not in the way you were expecting.

  Assuming for the sake of argument that an action is justified, and rightful, it is completely craven and cowardly to back away from that action because you might get terrorized, and furthermore it reinforces the belief amongst terrorists that terror pays dividends. Terrorists don't just attack buildings, they also attack liberty itself, as seen when a newspaper in Denmark published cartoons of Mohammed. Should we censor all artists so that we don't get attacked, as well? Perhaps we should form an official Muslim censorship beaurau, and run everything by them first, to make sure that it won't offend any terrorists.
