Terrorists aren't an army. If they were this war would already be over. An army is centralized, with the long range weaponry western countries have any army would be dead before they were even mobilized. An army camp could easily be taken out by one large bomb. It'd pose no problem to get a high yield bomb into their…

I was extremely worried yesterday and phoning around like mad trying to contact my family members and friends.
