How about Korea and their Nukes? Supposedly they can hit the west coast of the US with a missile. And supposedly they have 2 nukes. This whole situation is making Japan pretty nervous. How many times have they invaded Korea? And now there is a new Bin Laden tape? How fucking convenient. Twenty bucks says another tape will "surface" in a week or so that "proves" an Iraqi-Al Qaeda connection. And then Bush will have all the reason he needs to start dropping 2000 pound bombs on Baghdad. All this is causing quite a bit of US paranoia, which I find entertaining on some grim level. Lots of "how to build a bomb shelter in your back-yard" shows on TV (well not quite that bad but...) And now that we are on "Orange" alert we are supposed to have 3 days of food and water in our house. WTF? The administration is just trying to cause low-level panic among the populace so that it can have a carte-blanch to deal with the "terrorist threat." If you get everybody so worried about Anthrax, Small Pox, and Serin that they fucking tape shut all their windows and don't leave their house, then they won't care that your fighting an unjust, illegal, and immoral war.
