I really don't see the impact of this (mass fear, significant change of lifestyles, economic impact) as being small. Well thought out, if anything.

Has lots of parallels to the sniping that used to go on in Sarajevo years ago.

I don't consider any of this as "small" actually--I was replying to someone else who used that word, and had just quoted his/her response. You must not have noticed the italics I used to quote the other person's comment!

And I agree, it seems very well-thought out.
