I say stupid in the following sense:  The US has adopted the same
strategy as has Israel -- massive retaliation for everything.  It is
clear that Israel's strategy cannot bring it peace.  Nor can the US.
There is already only limited geography where US tourists can freely
venture, and that geography is going to shrink.  And of course it will
blowback to this continent.  And the stupid response is even more
massive retaliation -- never mind who or what the target.  And then, ...
, followed by more massive retaliation.  Fortress America is a stupid
strategy, never mind anything else to say about it.
