quote:Would it take all of America to respond, or just a few concerned individuals? If there are Americans among the real terrorists, then one would suspect they were Americans with some influence. And it stands to reason that they would use their influence to prevent America from responding effectively. Thus, it is illogical to think that America can possibly respond effectively to the real terrorists. It will be up to Americans, who are not under the influence of the real terrorists, acting of their own volition to respond effectively.
In your opinion, would this be Americans' response?
So your task isn't to get America to act. It is to rouse the necessary righteous indignation among a sufficient number of Americans to get them to act as individuals or in concert.
