What to do? 1) Refuse to be the "human shields" in protection of criminal foreign policy. That's the duty brave Washington has volunteered us - and I do mean 'we' (mbs), and 2) while on that subject, another kind of 'we' should reject chauvinist bigotry.
Oh, and a logic and reading comprehension note: a potential or actual victim of a terrorist act is not the same thing as acting as an (unarmed, obviously) human shield, voluntarily or involuntarily. Acting as a human shield is not to be confused with the issue of terrorism, but it is the former and not the latter that immediately, concretely confronts "us" now.
Otherwise, you have to believe in mbs' and Hitchens brainless dogma: If only "we' support Washingtons' "war", there will be no more terrorist attacks like that of Sept. 11. Trust then, they "know". They bet their lives on this inevitable outcome of the "war". Look! They've volunteered themselves as human shields.
And "us" as well, as we should never cease to remind them.
