Death penalty for Arsonists

Terrorists, er, insurgents create all kinds of mayhem. All with the idea of draining resources and causing an air of fear and uncertainty. Sure, those fuckers who drove planes into the WTC were effective, but if I'm the head of a terrorist organization bent on fucking with the US, on our own soil, I'm going for subtle.

Natural disasters or acts of God are blameless events causing death and destruction the world over. Here at home in the US, flooding and tornadoes have been the disaster du jour, until recently. There is nothing specific that man can do to act as a catalyst for these happenings, and very little that can be done to stop them. Mitigation is really the only defense. Can't blame the weather on Hamas can we?

However, if I was in a terrorist think tank I would take the approach of initiating what APPEARS to be a natural disaster, or stupid human accident, and sit back and watch the carnage. The fires in Arizona come to mind.

We all know the border between Mexico and the US is for all intents and purposes a joke. It's porous and the stupid bastards who get caught coming across should be shot on general principle alone. A Garmin, a decent pair of cross trainers and average intelligence will get you a one way ticket to the good old US of A.

That said, starting wildfires is a great way to distract authorities at all levels, not to mention draining state and federal resources to combat the fires while creating fear and civil unrest. Every summer there is a "fire season" and why wouldn't a terrorist organization want to ride that train?

I'm not condoning the idea, but it has to be taken somewhat seriously. Political correctness and personal sensitivities aside the agenda of these fuckers is to kill and destroy. They are not all going to wear their rags on their heads with a gas can and lighters saying "here I am".

Something is seriously wrong with the general state of things when the federal government has the forethought and resources to post signs in the southern Arizona warning Americans that the homeland just ain't safe for them to enjoy due to the high number of illegals that cross there. Really? Feel free to fix the potholes on the 101 when you guys get done making the desert safe for the illegals.



530,000 acres have been burned since the fire started and is only 60% contained. The official guess as to how the fire started is being deemed as "human" although an investigation is ongoing. If I'm head insurgent in charge I call that a win!

This is a legitimate problem, and one that will continue to get worse in all parts of the country. It's terrorism 101 - the problem as I see it in terms of retribution is this - it takes a big fucking bomb to get sand to burn.
