Dry is good and wind is better...
However this "Sudden death" bomb to end overtime will no doubt follow other fourth quarter scenarios. What will happen after Thanksgiving, when one weekend several crowded shopping malls are attacked simultaneously?
When several small plastique explosions send crowds scurrying to blocked fire exits -- and Islamic entente suicide gunmen open fire, probably only fifty or sixty will be killed at each location.
But starting on the East coast, shopping malls across the country will close when a second attack occurs an hour later in another state. Panicked shoppers will refuse to go out and suddenly the crucial Christmas shopping season will be lost. What will this low tech attack do to the American economy?
Mall rent a cops and off duty police and sheriff deputies will stop this style of attack? In colder weather when everyone wears a coat that can hide an assault rifle or a pair of semi-auto pistols? When everyone carrys packages that can hold several 2kg bombs?
This scenario may only kill a hundred or so people but it will shut down the US economy for the fourth quarter...
Then "Allah's Suitcase" will be opened. As they say, "Dirty bomb, double the yield..."
Millions to die in the Third World War. Yet America is hesitant to take the fight to the madman Saddam Hussein. How many US cities must be destroyed by "misplaced" Russian suitcase nuclear bombs for America to strike back?
Must Chicago be blasted? Or Houston... before the US will use its own nuclear devices in the war between civilisations?
The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.
....Geez. I bet you'refun at a party.
Besides, I don't think America will have to lose 'a few million' to get serious about waging effective, ruthless, and overwhelming war.
It will come soon enough, even for your taste.
