2. I'm not fond of "Let's Pretend"

But I should think that if the United States had been occupied for the last 10 years by foreign troops who were wont to bomb weddings, fire missiles into neighborhoods, machine gun transport trucks full of prisoners, bury the bodies in unmarked graves out in the wilderness, indefinitely imprison and torture citizens on little more than hearsay, and then burn some Bibles "by accident," there might be a wee bit of push back.

Are you willing to have those tactics visited on us? Or are you just positing nonsense for the sake of some ersatz equivalency argument that is . . . lacking?
