#3 ...the movement had no official sanction and said such groups could operate only "as long as their ideas are limited to theory."

In theory, wouldn't it be a shame if something fell out of the sky and blew their nice new monument to shit?

#4 Putting up a monument celebrating an attack on a Marine barracks seems, well, unwise. The USMC has a very strong institutional memory.

#5 I wonder if the Iranian ambassador to the UN would like to be invited to a SAC ceremony unveiling a "theoretical" monument celebrating the nuclear annihilation of Iran.

#6 Forgive me, this is the first time I've delved so far into such bigoted outraged thought patterns ...

Is anyone else picturing an Iranian mullah's black turban pinioned on the spindle of a toilet paper dispenser?

#7 There ought to be some local chaps that we can hire to blow up the monument. Just to send a little message.
