must...not...fic...
I'm sorely tempted to write another Falling Skies fic, one with this in it:
"A Hindu dies and gets reincarnated, a dead Muslim becomes a martyr...and do you know what happens to Skitters?"
"No idea."
"Then why do you assume you can make them abandon Earth if you kill enough of them?" She leaned back. "Not to mention the fact that your strategic analogy sucks anyway."
"Excuse me? I think it's a very good one."
"You're an American. One who appearantly forgot that, in order to defeat the British enough to make them open to negotiations, your revolutionary ancestors had to ally with the French. So tell me, what alien race are you going to invite to Earth to intimidate the Skitters?"
