Yup. Far too many. In my opinion the Axis of Evil strategy is a mistake. The proper response was to limit the war to locales with proven al Qaeda presence, such as Afghanistan, Sudan and the Philippines; and avoid like a plague a war on Arab regimes simply because we don't like them. Now the War on Terror has completely lost focus.

Now the War on Terror has completely lost focus.

Yup, exactly as I warned you, and it may get a LOT worse. If, in the middle of this, China allies with Russian gangs to pop open our prisons, cuts loose a bioterror attack, blows the Panama Canal, abets an attack from Mexico, and hits some major infrastructure (such as gas pipelines or electrical power sources to pump water), we're in big trouble.

Without power we cannot refrigerate. Without pumps we cannot grow food. Our entire agricultural apparatus is in danger of shutdown due to environmental regulation. Where will an urban population get its food and water? Where will they run? Who will take care of them? How would such services be located near population centers?

Guess where the structural solutions lie?
