I have been predicting that this would devolve into a war of the USA against Islam from Sept. 11 on. The kicker is that we know Pakistan has Nukes (acknowledgement of William Jefferson Clinton's contribution hereby made). The means to deliver nuclear weapons do not have to be sophisticated unless we are engaged in a total war from our side. The involvement of China is yet to be determined and I am not optimistic about how that will turn.

It is going to get a whole lot uglier here. I refer once again to the ongoing harassment attacks of Anthrax. Yes they are "pinpricks" in one sense but they keep us very busy with little real expenditure of resources on their part. Each letter with talcum powder cuases a reaction and costs us far more than the $.34 stamp on the letter. Hazmat crews are getting exhausted and labs that test the powders are getting very tired. The US Post Office is perhaps an unplanned target of these attacks.

I am concerned about what these pin priclks are diverting our attention from.

The sooner all islamic nations are quarantined the safer we will be.

The first attack on the WTC killed about ten people, the next attack killed 6,000.

The first anthrax attacks killed one, (so far), when they perfect their delivery systemn the next attack will kill??

I worry that in the confusion of the coming overthrow of Musharraf, some of the Paki nukes will disappear. Months later, they may "turn up" in a shipping container in Long Beach or Norfolk.
