We had better get used to being the civilians
who are under a relentless and planned assault from the pledged supporters of a wicked theocratic ideology. These people will kill themselves to attack hotels, weddings, buses, subways, cinemas, and trains. They consider Jews, Christians, Hindus, women, homosexuals, and dissident Muslims (to give only the main instances) to be divinely mandated slaughter victims. Our civil aviation is only the most psychologically frightening symbol of a plethora of potential targets. The future murderers will generally not be from refugee camps or slums (though they are being indoctrinated every day in our prisons); they will frequently be from educated backgrounds, and they will often not be from overseas at all. They are already in our suburbs and even in our military. We can expect to take casualties. --- The truth about airplane security measures. - By Christopher Hitchens - Slate MagazineUsed to it until such time as we have taken so many casualties that we decide, finally, to kill them and their culture wholesale.

Well, it's good to know that at least you're doing _your_ vital part in the struggle, here on the sidelines blogging.... You must feel very self-satisfied.

Nope. Just impatient. It will come to this in the end. Depend upon it.

Governments don't seem ready to do it, though. And the military is kept in check by its vow of obedience (not that I'm complaining about THAT!)
Is it technologically possible yet for non-government, non-military, private citizens to get on with making war on the Ummah themselves? No, it certainly isn't LEGALLY possible. But can it be done?
Because I'd bet that if there's any way at all a bereaved husband or father can touch our enemies, sooner or later some of them will.
