I mean, fantasy is one thing, but even fantasy needs a grain of reality. There is no way you can read those quotes and imagine we are the good guys anywhere. We're the Romans, with Pax Romania. If you kill a Roman Citizen, your whole village will be killed. If you email that you want to see American's die, then you should be killed from one of the tens of thousands of drones flitting about piloted by men far in the rear slobbering at the chance to fire guided missiles into crowds of women and children at birthday parties.
