Obviously I can't imagine what it would have been like that day one bit... but I probably would have gone bat **** crazy attempting to kill them once the revolt started.
One thing I've never understood about this type of jihadi behaviour is why they respond to their problems by killing more innocent people. If they were any type of real men - and I'm sure their God would concur - they would use their mouths, not their weapons, to promote change. Promote words of peace and compassion, not violence. And, if they were going to attack someone anyways, they should stand up and challenge their supposed oppressors to a face-to-face confrontation. I guess that would be too courageous for them.

Courageous in the same way cruise missiles are courageous? Who would they face...bust into the White House and square off with George Bush? I would argue - as have others - that it takes more courage to fly a plane kamikaze style into the side of the building than it does to fire a cruise missile or to drop bombs from a stealth bomber. These guys were definitely not lacking courage.
I get what you're saying, but it isn't practical and they didn't have the means to raise an army and invade the shores of the USA and occupy its cities. If they wanted to fight back against the USA, they found a very cheap and effective way to do it. I'm not defending them, just saying that there is method to their madness.
