Howdy Psycho4bud,

I find this quote from the article,to be telling as well..:
"The tragedy is that I think it's exactly the right time for this."


"Why? Because, "When you're dealing with people whose full intent is to die, you can't give people a choice of whether to comply," George Gibbs, a systems engineer for the Marine Expeditionary Rifle Squad Program who oversees directed-energy projects says."

We need to realize,that the jihadists are wanting to die for their cause,and we need to acknowledge it,as well. This is the part,that those opposed to the war on terror,simply don't understand and choose not to understand..the terrorists are not interested in a compromise of any sort..it's their way-or no way..if they seek their own deaths and the deaths of non-combatants..then it is death,that they shall recieve,because a free and democratic world,cannot abide their existance.

Have a good one !
