		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;A normal person would never come out from under the bed.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It hardly bears thinking about to consider the end result of culling the terrorist herd year after year after year, with the best gold-plated weaponry that Western science can come up with and the American taxpayer can be shaken down for.

Remember Terry Pratchett&#039;s explanation of how tortoises could eventually learn to fly under the pressure of selection by eagles? We&#039;re going to breed terrorists who can &lt;i&gt;see&lt;/i&gt; drones circling at nine miles up, have infrared vision, and some kind of magnetic sense to detect circuitry hidden in rocks.

What was that about unintended consequences?</description>
