the etc. being Iraq? really good response to 9/11 that was. sure has
solved the problem. hey, how's Bush's plan of "smokin' 'im out" ('im
being bin Laden) going? haven't heard much about it lately.

Well, we showed the world. You mess with us, and we will attack
somebody who sort of reminds us of you (since we're not too good with
races and languages and that foreign stuff), who we also don't like.

It's like that scene in over the top crime movies, where the head bad
guy tries to threaten the hero, by shooting one of his own men "You
see what I'm capable of? I wasn't even mad at him, imagine what I will
do to you".
