There is a difference between rhetoric and someone who plans. The threat should have consequences without a doubt, but you have to also give credit for having courage to stand, even if it is misguided. Had people in the Military did this after 911, we would not be in this mess. Remember, 2 planes hit 2 buildings in NYC on 911, but 3 fell. No one stood up, hence the mess we are in. Understanding is the key to everything, without it, everything is wrong and nothing works.
