21. Some of those nuts have arsenals.

I think it was here that I read about the Tea Party member who posted his plan on their website for an armed but "bloodless coup" on President Obama and his cabinet. Presumably the Secret Service was supposed to just stand by and let this happen.

I realize Great Britain has lost most of her empire but the Nazi flag never flew over Buckingham Palace. Here? I think we'd nuke the White House before we'd let the black flag fly.

An English cyber friend is about as afraid of Muslims as I am of Martians. He says they're 3% and barely noticible. He lives in London.

Not saying radicals can't do a lot of damage (remembering 9/11) but I doubt the idea of a Caliphate by means of violence is all that mainstream.

I was just thinking the weaponry doesn't seem to be up to drones anymore than that of the fringe nuts. Both countries have very well equiped armies. It wouldn't be easy.
