"Don't be an idiot! If SOLDIER were to start any such purge, vampires all around the world would strike. You think this little squable is a problem? What do you think it would look like if thousands of vampires worldwide were to descend upon the US? Many vampires even have political power and influence. Many other countries would use it as an excuse to destroy America and take our resources. Terrorrist groups would gain mass vampire reinforcement. Deaths in the millions. Do you really want to throw the entire country into chaos and disarray?" Johnathan spits on the ground, glaring. "I avenge those who died for humanity by trying to save their families. Their friends. You kill Dresden, and another will take his place. There are many vampires, all would happily become leader. A confusion for a year, maybe. I've seen their workings, Matt. Don't think me a fool chasing an idle dream. This is humanity's best hope for survival."
