From reports, men in muslim countries seem to consider themselves free lances, able to join private organizations, go off, and fight whom they wish, where they wish. Meanwhile, men in America appear to have two broad choices. One is to join the American arm forces and be sent off to do almost anything except kill America's enemies or take their stuff. The other is to stay home and take sides in arguments about whether the Americans' rulers have good intentions or evil intentions, there being little disagreement about their ineffectuality. I don't envy muslims their stupid theology or their servility toward that hairy, hunchbacked god of theirs. I do envy them their awesome liberty to organize to destroy and supplant the people they despise.
