I will now crawl back into my igloo and warm up next to my Athlon. It gets really hot from all this compiling." Or you could just call out those 3 little letters that make ya feel so good ... a-p-t. I'm installing now. Hope you guys fixed all the bugs I reported!

    Please read this important announcement:

    The case for Positive Nuclear Correction

    Many of you may be wondering what Osama Bin Laden was hoping to communicate to the United States by killing tens of thousands of people. I propose that his extraorinarily effective message was this:

    Arabic people from the Middle East do not deserve protection from genocide.

    He did his best to communicate this message, and it is our duty to do our best to listen, and understand. Using public transportation as a weapon, he attempted to publicly slaughter more Americans than were killed in the Vietnam War by immolation, and attempted to kill everone in our government. Don't forget that both NY and Washington were failures by his standards: the planes hit too high, allowing many to escape, and Washington was just totally botched. Bin Laden intended to immolate more Americans than died in Vietnam and to kill everyone in our government without declaring war - all in the most cowardly and Internationally Illegal manner possible.

    A culture capable of fostering this idea is, quite obviously, a culture in need of change. In the 1940's, Japan & Germany were home to two cultures in need of change. Many argued that they would come around to reason if we left them alone. I won't go into that.

    Today, Germany is the first culture to speak out against racial purification attempts, Japan the first to speak out against Imperialism. Both learned cultural lessons. However, the cost of teaching them these lessons was immense for both them and for us. To make Japan understand - to make Germany understand - required the wholesale slaughter of millions of their citizens. This fact remains unchanged, today.

    What has changed is that the cost for America need not be immense. While we are in dire need of creating cultural change in the Middle East, we have the advantage of a large nuclear arsenal with which to accomplish this change. We can effectively fight World War II in a day, without losing a single American life. The lives that must be lost in the middle east are already lost, due to their cultural error - but technology allows us to save the lives of the Americans who would normally have to go to the Middle East and perform this task manually.

    It is time for us to employ nuclear technology to save American lives and to effect cultural change. We must make the Middle East a region which is the first to speak out against terrorism - just as Germany and Japan speak out against their former crimes. We must accomplish this task in the time-honored manner: wholesale slaughter of civilian populations.

    The only remaining question is which countries should be vaporized. The short list would appear to be Saudi Arabia (the home of Bin Laden), as well as Afghanistan and Iraq. But those details are out of place in this discussion.

    Please, write your congressman in favor of Positive Nuclear Correction.
