Yo, NASA! We've got a new project for you.

Brother Fool: Did you hear about the asteroid that was close to hitting Earth?
Thinking Fool: Yeah.
Brother Fool: Do you think there’s any chance that it was on a collision course with us, but that NASA did something to deflect it?
Thinking Fool: NASA can barely get a space shuttle off the ground. Do you really think it could successfully deflect the trajectory of an asteroid?
Brother Fool: We can certainly hold out hope. Then again, if a medium-sized asteroid were to hit the Middle East, that’d solve a lot of the world’s problems.
Thinking Fool: If only NASA could make that happen!

Here’s my question. If an asteroid wiped out the United States, the Islamofascists would undoubtedly praise Allah for exacting revenge on the Great Satan that is America. But what if an asteroid wiped out the Middle East?

Radical Islamist #1: Oh my goodness! Do you think we’ve been wrong this whole time? Is God really not on our side?
Radical Islamist #2: Don’t be ridiculous. He was targeting the Jews and we were just collateral damage.
Radical Islamist #1: Praise Allah!!

Actually a catastophic event where an asteroid hit any part of the planet, Middle East or otherwise would most likely result in an extended ice-age and terrible devestation all throughout the world. The dust cloud created would blot out the sun for hundreds if not thousands of years.

We would most likely be reduced to huddling in bunkers for warmth, consuming rats and insects for sustenance and being forced to drink our own urine.

Good times.

heh, imagine, americans and radical islamists sharing the same bunker, the same rats and insects, the same . . . well, hopefully not urine.

Crazy people will always justify whatever it is that needs to be justified for them...
