(34,179 posts)Let me ask you this, say, oh, Russia wanted to get back at some capitalist terrorists that had bombed the Kremlin, and they were living next door to you. Russia launches a drone strike into your neighborhood that blows up not just the terrorist, but everything in a four or five house radius, including your beloved spouse or child.
Wouldn't you want to get back at the Russians, any way you could? Wouldn't you be out for revenge?
Now, multiply that by thousands, and that's where our problems becomes major. While you may want revenge against those Russians, you may not have the means to do so. But if that scene were repeated hundreds of times, pretty soon the number of those friends and relatives who wanted revenge would grow large enough that you could find a group who had the means and will to carry out an attack on the Kremlin all on their very own.
That is what we're looking at, and if you don't get the problem now, then perhaps you will in a few years or so when we have another 911 here. Because that is exactly what is going to happen. You can't kill innocents again and again and expect to escape the consequences.
