Thank you &#8220;Airplane&#8221;. Because that almost represents about all the humor I can ring out of this. See, terrorists are committed with homicide bombings and all kinds of cRaZy. it has always seemed that the ends justifies all means for this group.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, they have left one very vulnerable angle that we in the West have all alone. It would be so easy too. I was talking to a co-worker about this the other day when discussing Benghazi (don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll never break my promise to not be political here. NEVER!) Over the long haul, the only thing keeping this a fair fight is the West&#8217;s willingness to not kill anyone before we at least try to ruin their lives first. Look, most \u00a0Westerners don&#8217;t have 72 virgins waiting after death and that brings me to my main point.<\/p>\n<p>The single most vulnerable point for the West and especially the U.S. is sex. In particular, sex that is inviting to the heterosexual male who finds himself in some form of power or prestige. It is KRYPTONITE to him. To make matters worse, al-Qaeda\u00a0could launch a takeover tomorrow. How? Right beneath our noses. We would never see it coming, in fact we&#8217;d hold out our hands to give the invaders a steady hand on which to get their balance. How? Burkas. The disguise has been in front of us all along. Now, all that needs to be done is after all have landed on our shores, burkas drop and we&#8217;d be defenseless, brought to our knees in 10 maybe 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The only defense we need is more women in power in the U.S. and the West to truly protect ourselves. Think about it, women have brought down the most powerful men in the free world. There was a most popular sitting cigar wielding U.S. President, a 4-Star General &#8211; Director of THE CIA, the Presidential SECRET SERVICE Protection Detail, and those are just a few that we&#8217;ve been told about in the past 20 years. No, with more women in power we won&#8217;t be so vulnerable. There will still be instances some cases, but for the most part if we keep the White House library stocked with copies of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fifty-Shades-Grey-Book-Trilogy\/dp\/0345803485\" target=\"_blank\">50 Shades of Grey<\/a>&#8221; and the home theater room with a rolling loop of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1915581\/\" target=\"_blank\">Magic Mike<\/a>&#8220;, we&#8217;d be just fine.<\/p>\n<p>After all, this<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burkas-1-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-394\" title=\"burkas-1-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burkas-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"515\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burkas-1-2.jpg 515w, https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burkas-1-2-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">might actually be hiding this most powerful of invaders lurking, scouting, and seeking it&#8217;s next feeble minded male prey&#8230;<span style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burka-bikini.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-396\" title=\"burka-bikini\" src=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burka-bikini-300x215.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burka-bikini-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burka-bikini.jpg 558w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<strong><em> it could all start as simple as this&#8230;<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burka.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-397\" title=\"burka\" src=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burka-249x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"249\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burka-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/burka.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While we are putting shoes in rubber tubs and measuring shampoo into trial size containers not to exceed 3oz., this guy is probably not going to telegraph his intentions again next time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Reid__Richard_C.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-398\" title=\"Reid__Richard_C\" src=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Reid__Richard_C-287x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Reid__Richard_C-287x300.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.midwesternmeditations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Reid__Richard_C.jpg 288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">No, next time it won&#8217;t be telegraphed by Richard the failed shoe bomber.
