Time for a righteous asskicking

You know, all I wanted was a somber, mellow 9/11 where I could be kind of sad and mourn the dead. I didn't want to get angry.

But then, some assholes in Egypt and in Libya decided that it would be fun to invade our embassies. Which, I would like to point out, are considered American soil. This means that yesterday -- on the date of the biggest terrorist act against our country -- two nations invaded us.

There are some who say it was an al Qaeda plot, and that I should be mad at them and not Egypt or Libya. I call bullshit, because whose job is it to prevent protests from turning into riots and then international incidents?  That's right, the police of the host nation. Who, I hasten to point out, did fuck-all to stop their people. 

What's worse, in Libya they actually managed to murder our ambassador, along with three other people, and then drag his body through the streets

So you know what?  Fuck it. I'm back in full aggro mode again, screaming at the TV screen. American citizens under diplomatic immunity have been murdered by foreign agents on American soil, and so far no one has done anything except use mild language to condemn the attacks in a very namby-pamby sort of way, when this is what we should have done in both instances:  



That's right, waste the motherfuckers. Instead, we look like complete pansies because we can't even defend our patch of sovereign soil in a foreign country.

So here's what I say we do: We withdraw all diplomatic personnel from North Africa and the Middle East; we officially close those embassies permanently; and then we implode the buildings with demolition charges, leaving those countries with nothing but a pile of smoldering rubble. If they want to use the real estate, they'll have to haul it all away first.

It's the closest I can come to leaving a gigantic, stinking pile of shit on their front lawns.
