[This diatribe by the long gone Sofa\_King](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-are-so-f-cking-screwed-re-the-war/165179/82) in 2003 is IMHO one of the greatest rants ever posted on these boards.

The whole thing is worth reading given how generally prescient it proved, but these lines:

> Why do they fight us? Because they’ve never seen anything scarier than we.

> What, I ask you redneck road-farm-game-and-communications-but-not-health-unemployment-traditional-welfare-subsidized maniac solipsists, is the lesser evil compared _to us_, you fucking fools!

and surrounding comments have stuck with me for 23 years so far.
