Gees, we're walking off the deep end here folks.

I mean, what's really changed? What you are talking about are thugs and hoodlums, forget their motivation for a moment and just consider that they are people preying on other people. This is a threat that's constantly been with us, and a part of the nature of our society. The media hype aside, we were no more secure 30 years ago than we are today, and there was a heckuva lot of NBC floating around then that anyone with half a brain and a bag of loot could've (and some did) get their hands on. None of what they have now to use is that new, pharm grade Anthrax and smallpox remain at the top of the list for bio, VX, Sarin, Ricin remain at the top for Chem. They were all just as effective and just as available 30 years ago, and we had just as many crazies back then, so the only thing I see that's different is the crazies today get more air time.

Chuck Norris made a movie a ways back called Invasion USA. I liked the way that one ended.

From what I read about the Mumbai attack, the armed police were unwilling to shoot back until way late in the game. So much for gun control...

Maybe we ought to just hire Blackwater stooges to be our private army and hunt down all these terrorists and pirates and gangsters. Oh wait, that'd pretty much have them fighting themselves.
