I prefer David Weber's world over fantasy ones, actually. They are more realistic and faithful to the human condition. Btw, Book, what did you think about my answer to that little meme you posted a few months ago?

They are relying on us to remain in this quiescent appeasement phase. That could be a very large mistake. Because if we turn, and with our "cultural memory recorders" filled with everything they have been and will continue to be doing, payback will not be kind. They wish for the mushroom cloud above the infidel city... and as the saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for, because you may get it." And in this case, what they may get is the full force of an awakened and enraged West - or enough of the West awakened and enraged to do the job.

When they arrive, they will administer a little payback. The book's last two words are: Death and destruction! When it comes to Islamism, I second the sentiment.
