[QUOTE]Originally posted by Red Ultra Mega Psy Snay God Shinzon: [QB] Given how citizens of the US generally respond to being attacked, you'd be silly to presume otherwise. There were plenty of people who, while the events of September 11th unfolded and immediately afterwards, would have happily used the power of the Douwd, had they had it, to destroy all the Husnock, everywhere. For a few hours that day, I was one of them. Fortunately, I snapped out of it. I don't expect as many people to be able to do that. He's talking about how the American PEOPLE would react, not the government, you dupes. If you think that what happend with the attacks on the Arab community post 9-11 was bad, it won't be anything compared to what could happen after a second, similar attack by a cell in the US. People will see a threat in their midst, and act on what they think they see, whether it's real or not. They will assume any Arab could be in cahoots, since the government wasn't able to catch them all. They won't CARE that it's a totally wrong presumption, because scared angry people don't act rationally. I'm actually worried for my new boss... she's Lebanese. So are you telling me they want this guy out because he told a goddamned unpleasant TRUTH? Man, you people need thicker skins. [/QB][/QUOTE]
