It's been bouncing around the last couple of days,

but if you've missed reference to it before, go read The Time Traveler. Now.

Lots of people, me included, have dreaded that the islamists will do something that will cause us to act at WWII level; that these idiots either have no real idea what we're capable of, or don't care. The other side of that is, our restraint in dealing with these idiots may actually encourage them; they see our working to prevent innocent deaths to the greatest extent possible to be weakness to use against us. When you're dealing with someone who only recognizes power and submission, trying to be nice is a mistake.

I just hope we haven't gone past that line already.
