400 years? 50 years? What does it matter in a world with such a short attention span and voracious history metabolism?

I don't advocate killing anybody. I advocate defending US citizens, though. Solidarity is important, as long as it's not the Post 9/11 vapor-patriotism.

*slouches in his ratty armchair*

I'm a staunch advocate of the Stop Putting Your Damn Finger Everybody's Pie, America party.

...

Escalation of force on the high seas. They drew first blood... or whatever. I mean, they did.

The royal "We" (the West) created this problem and now we're dealing with it in a predictable manner.

We'll see more guns on ships, tons of new security programs, billions of dollars potentially wasted.

Hell, it'll be just like going to that other airport in Chicago.
