Oh, snap

The Mighty Middle, on terrorism, America, and right-wing pussies:

Here's the thing. The people who want to kill Americans? They're still going to be here next year. And the next. And asymetric warfare is here to stay for quite some time. And we will get hit again. That's almost inevitable: we will get hit again. Just like the Israeilis and the Egyptians and the Indonesians and the Brits during the IRA war, or during the Blitz. We will get hit again. But the fact that we will get hit again does not 'change everything." It does not change who we are, or what we believe.

The panicky loudmouths on the right who hype the fear of terror, and use that fear as an excuse to attack American freedoms, are not the strong and steadfast in this war: they are the cowards. They're the gibbering hysterics who needed a slap across the face in the London Underground while German bombs were falling. They've had five years now to try and grow some balls, or at least a stiff upper lip. It really is past time.

Definitely a lucid and entertaining article worth reading.
