My point, Jose, is that these "victories" have come at such a high
personal cost to those who achieved them as to dissuade most thinking
people from even trying to mess with America.

Why? Because most people DON'T want to spend their lives on the run,
living in a cave.

But "most people" aren't the problem. It's the exceptions that are the
ones that cause us the headaches. These exceptions often do not have
our values, so to judge them by our values is folly. Some of them do
have our values, and are just smaller than we are, but perceive us as
being evil and very harmful to them. If a big galoot were raping your
sister, would you sit by because he's bigger than you and has whupped
lots of others? I suspect you'd give it your all, and accept the risk
of injury or death to save what you percieve as more important.

That big galoot might not consider your sister to be "important", and
might judge you irrational or insane to come after him. But I bet you
would.
