Not that I question Pal leadership....
but someone once said that you win wars by making the other guy die for HIS country rather than you dying for yours. Makes you wonder, ya know.

gives me an idea: Decoy Trade Centers
....have about 100 of them that rotate on a giant plate, with only 2 real ones. After a while the terrorists will run out of suicidal personalities.

what specificly did I say wrong?
How about if I instead said:
"...after a while the terrorists will run out of Kamakazi volunteers."

I think...
and they can correct me, that they think the comment was a little too flip for the circumstances.
I don't agree, but there's a lot of raw emotions going on right now - far too many people dead. Your comment was meant as a joke (and I got it), but there's a lot of people who can't laugh at this right now.
(I wouldn't worry about, but relax a bit and allow others to get through this emotionally)

I was trying to lighten the mood, but it backfired

A noble intent.
But I wouldn't have posted such just yet.

Re: A noble intent.
Noble? my ass. Nobly insensitive, for sure.
That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing [as freedom], on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion; yet arms ... should be the last resource. - George Washington

Hey - that wasn't called for.
I don't think he was being insensitive deliberately. Being less than serious about something like this is how some people deal with it and he was trying to help. Sure, it wasn't appropriate, but he knows now and said as much.
