#2 I agree that more of us will die. I think we'll "get it" eventually, but humans can be pretty damned stupid. For example, if they only succeed in "dribbles" of 5 or 10 at a time, it will take much longer for us to wake up. If they kill 100 - that will do more than 10 small attacks. If they kill 1000 that will likely do the trick and trip the internal threshold we all seem to innately carry before we get serious.

The numbers game is insane, of course, but it seems to fit reality. Remember the sniping by Serbs on Muslims in Sarayevo? In Feb '94 a mortar hit the crowded Markela Market killing 68 - the next day Peter Jennings and the other dipshits did the evening news from that market. Unfortunately the shelling was not repeated so they're still "with" us. The point is, however, that 5-10 people had died every damned day for months before that day -- but the dribble didn't get the news. It took a big splash.

Dumbass humans. 1 innocent killed is too many, of course.
