Pretty awesome

I love this phrase

That means if you have Osama bin Laden standing in the middle of the Pakistan Cute Children and Puppies Convention, he can't be hit with a missile without causing innocent lives to be lost. But if you have a C-130 with a chemical laser in the nose, you can turn him into charcoal in a flash of light, without any damage other than some shocked and awed little kids.
