Wait wait wait.

Global WAR on Terror, right?

It's a WAR. People die in war. Sometimes, they're non-combatants. Sometimes they're not.

I love this. People scream to their politicians after terrorist attacks, "Keep us safe!" The politicians, eager to be reelected, do so. And when the press starts printing pictures of blown-up people and prisoners from the other side, they start screaming, "Wait! Keep THEM safe, too!"

We are one seriously bent species.
