If a few terrorists stood up in a plane today with razor blades... the couple Air Marshalls in the plane would shoot the bastards. Hell... they couldn't get control of the third plane because the passangers prevented them from hurting a populated area. It wasn't strength... it was just that America had its guard down. Ask Japan what happened when they attacked America and the consequences they had to deal with. America and Europe could... with ease... destroy the entire Middle East. America, Britain, France, and Germany alone could probably do it. C'mon now... this all mighty strong fighting force beheads innocent civilians... that's the face of cowardice.
