you'd think that having halfway decent skiers and such an incredible worship of guns, that this country would be better at the biathalon.

unless of course, Sean Connery's character in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was right: shooting like an American means throwing enough bullets at the problem and hoping it goes away...

Of course it does! That's EXACTLY how we Americans treat the use of firearms--and just about any other conflict for that matter. Think about it. Precision is not our strong suit as a people, alas.

(Just watch, with our track record if Iran starts shooting at Israel, we'll invade Syria.)

Not to worry, even if he DOES get the idea, he obviously can't read a map. So if he tries to invade Syria instead, he'll end up in Bahrain.
