    Actually, I kind of liked the author's conclusion:

    "Odd and indeed disgusting as it is to find oneself writing that there is no alternative to war (and knowing full well how filthy and degrading that war will be), I find myself nonetheless with nothing else to suggest. Modernity, newly vulnerable, is, for all its faults, infinitely preferable to fascism. And that, I fear, is the choice that confronts us."

    The problem is that the Islamic fundamentalists that compose this new threat have but one goal: TO SEE THAT OUR SOCIETY NO LONGER EXISTS. Now, how do you negotiate with that?
    "It was actually fun, because you're back fully driving again in these trucks. Ninety percent of the tracks we go to in the IRL, you're flat-out. I was having to lift off the corners some here." - Buddy Rice
