The loudest of those who scream "bring it" are never the ones on the front lines. They never are the ones who have to face the danger. They are never the ones who have to pay the consequences. They are always the ones who generate the most noise and are always found far, far away from the consequence of their noise.
It's not YOU that the threat is to. It is we, Americans overseas, who work, build, send money back, and pay taxes that the threat is to. We, all of us, build bridges between what we are and stand for and what you cannot possibly understand.
You may not like me and that's OK but my neighbor is also American. He's from Louisiana. They have a 3 yr old and are expecting a baby next week. The guy across the street is American. He's from Alabama. He's married to a british lady. They have two small children. Our soldiers are on the streets across the world trying to stabilize messes that we created to begin with. They are Americans also. If actions back home inflame hatred of Americans somewhere else then the consequences of those actions must be faced by someone else somewhere else. The brunt of that hatred is taken by families who had nothing to do with the action.
You and yours and any of you who want to join the "war against terror" are also invited to volunteer, join the front lines, and scream "bring it" all you want to. Otherwise, if you inflame tensions and stir hatred and if you support stirring hatred then you are no better than they are.
The state department is issuing warnings and tightening security on overseas consulates and embassies as we speak. The cost of this single action comes out of all of our pockets. Were there justice this ignorant corn pone redneck would be given a weapen and dropped with a parachute on the Afghan/Pakastan border. He can run his mouth over there all he wants to and he can face the devil over there all he wants to. As can you or any of your brassy-mouth, brave fellows. Absent that your "bring it" is just foolish noise on the world stage to cover your fear and ignorance of things you know nothing about.
