Americans are always going to proverbial war on stuff. It seems bad enough that something inanimate is trying to kill you. To imagine an enemy with malign intent on top of that doesn’t seem very helpful to me.
Ok, but please don't take HN threads on predictable generic tangents. Especially not nationalistic ones. On HN, what's interesting are the diffs (i.e. the new information) in a story—not the old saws.
