Donald MacQueen, who says I can use his name, echoes my own sentiments, and

those of a mighty host of readers. I haven’t had a single dissent on this,

out of 40+ emails:

“You are 100% correct that -all- of the Iranian hostage takers should have

been hunted down and killed by now. We are in this current trouble because

the thugs who run the middle east, especially the Iranians, realized that we

treated terrorism as little more than a nuisance that could be solved by law

enforcement and the odd cruise missile strike. Even the gipper failed us in

this regard.

“I have long thought that we should -quietly- put the word out that, if you

kill Americans, you should be prepared to look over your shoulder for the

rest of your (hopefully short) life, because we will find you and we kill

you. And then do it.

“I feel so strongly about this that the government can raise my taxes if

only it would show the rest of the world that messing with the US of A is

tantamount to signing your own death warrant.

“Happy 4th of July to my fellow countrymen.

“God bless America.”
