However you are to be applauded for at least attempting to understand. Since time grows short for the millions soon to die perhaps you will indulge my response...
Yes, Japan was hit by two atomic bombs from a superior foe that would later spend billions in rebuilding their Far East colonies. If you are able, go to Okinawa and play golf sometime on land that still "belongs" to Japan but is guarded by US troops. The point is that when the stronger party (the West) is hit by such an attack, they must turn to themselves to rebuild. As lender and builder of last resort, the West will have no place to turn but from within to rebuild.
This is tough on GNP.
Fission bombs operate by splitting the atom. There is another type of nuclear device a bit more powerful that involves adding a hydrogen molecule to the mix. The name of this type of reaction escapes me at the moment, but in the back of my mind seems quite familiar...
Dry is good and wind is better...
The West is extremely vulnerable to economic attack now. Ultimately the cost to the US of the 911 assaults will be in the trillions. Let us revisit the low tech shopping mall asssault scenario and see how it will play out...
US merchants have been staggered this year and hope to make most of their money from now until Christmas. On a weekend shopping day, when millions are at malls, Islamic entente gunmen may decide to attack a half dozen American shopping malls simultaneously...
Four or five men at each mall, armed with small bombs and automatic weapons would kill perhaps two or three hundred people. However in the current "security" climate in the US, the overreaction would result in every mall across the country being evacuated and shutdown...
Hundreds of billions of dollars in sales would be lost for that one day as well as the resulting failure by Americans to go shopping. Cost for such an operation? Less than one hundred thousand dollars and twenty martyrs...
A very cost effective attack...
What is the most expensive real estate in America? A so-called "Dirty bomb" exploded there could possibly take a year to clean -- very expensive also...
Nuke Mecca in response to "Allah's Suitcase"? Sure... then you have one point four billion ready to become martyrs. Never happen...
Bill Clinton's illegal war against Yugoslavia (bought and paid for by the glorious operatives of the Kosovo Liberation Army) taught a few Americans about the superior capabilities of Yugoslav and RS intelligence networks. I doubt you have contacts in the intelligence business in Belgrade or Banja Luka but if you did I would suggest you talk to them candidly...
They know the Islamic entente prepares to strike again before the end of the year. Alas Langley does not want to listen... oh well...
Millions to die in the Third World War as "Allah's Suitcase" ushers in a new Dark Age for mankind. The West in a hopeless position -- choking on its own bureaucracy. So many to die...
You see Charlie, Starkist doesn't want tuna with good taste -- they want tuna that tastes good. Sorry, I meant: Osama bin Laden doesn't want to kill Americans, Osama bin Laden wants America out of Saudi Arabia...
And of course that is exactly what KLA and Chechen fighters and their stunning victories will permit as they defend the route of the AMBO pipeline -- a pipeline that will neutralise the Islamic oil card.
And with that card to be neutralised in a decade by AMBO, well you can see why the Eastern Holy Warriors have gone to war now...
Too bad millions must die to learn this simple equation. However 1914 and 1939 the same as 2001. Things really do never change. Oil is how much a bbl now?
The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.
The same one's who led Milosevic to believe that he could hold onto Kosovo in the face of Western military action and allowed Karadzic to misjudge the West in much the same manner after Srebrenica with the continuation of the shelling of Sarajevo?
Bunch of amateurs, Fusion. Judge an intelligence service by the health of the state it serves - and the 'eyes' of Yugoslavia and the RS are myopic to a fault and have directly contributed to the reduced circumstances that their masters now find themselves in.
