Arthur you're on target with this....I had written something with a bit of sarcasm more than a decade ago in response to the hysteria after terrorism surfaced in the US. People refuse to understand how blowback works and how our viciousness ultimately comes back to us. A suicide bomber can kill / Kamakazis did with a thrill / When innocents die / From our bombs on high / It's OK...we missed...so just chill
