    I am concerned about the US military base on Diego Garcia

    Interesting. For me, and most people in the world, a US military base would be absolute bottom on any list of worries. Especially the one at Diego Garcia, given its history. It's been cleansed already of its rightful inhabitants by the leaders of the free world; it would be fitting if the military base got wiped out too.
