What's this? The bully defense. I think it is more likely that striking at any infidel is close enough.

Bullying and arrogance have consequences. There is no question about that. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to piss on businessmen talking loudly on cellphones while using airport urinals. If they got bombed I would feel schadenfreude.

In this particular case I am tending to agree it appears as a "closest infidel" scenario.

Especially unarmed infidels, though the next one who picks on my wife is in for a hell of a surprise.
