Al-Qaida is coming ... Al-Qaida is coming ... Al-Qaida is coming.
  • Oh yeah?

    And when the next terrorist attack happens ...

    ... I will then ask you to write a well-reasoned excuse to all that attack's victims. --Sol Invictus

    What if you die by car accident, or by the bird flu, or by a criminal, or an airline crash, or allergic reaction, or an incurable disease, or gun accident, or by fire, or natural disaster, or any one of a host of terminal illnesses, or infected cut, or a domestic accident (you should find how many people die from this, you would not believe it) or if the draft is re-instated and you go die in Iraq?

    Sane people understand that life is temporary and if you start to think of all the ways you can die in any given moment, dying from a terrorist attack is pretty low on the list.

    But here’s another fear for you. If the terrorist attack you so fear, kills you first, you won’t be able to ask someone to write a well reasoned excuse to you.
