Hearing about the terrorism in Bali, the phrase “suicide bombing” sounds even more redundant. Everything the Islamic terrorists do is self-detrimental. By attacking foreigners in Indonesia, they’re going to make other countries stay away and thus have Indonesia’s economy fall even further. If we were really evil, we’d all pull out of the Middle East and all other Muslim countries, getting all the Jews in Israel to leave as well, and completely isolate them, letting them fester and die in their own corruptness. If we were a bit nicer than that, we’d nuke them. But there are no easy options for us because we are the good guys. We take being one nation under God as meaning we can’t just kill everyone we don’t like; instead we have to do our best to help others… even if they’re ignorant assholes. It ain’t easy being the good guys – especially when everyone hates you – but one should thank God we are the way we are and thus try use our powers for good instead of evil. What if Superman, instead of being raised in a small Midwest town, had originally landed in Marin County, California? The U.S. could have killed all our enemies by now and taken over the world Nazi-style, but we were just raised better than that.
