Weapons of War Now Include Lightning Guns

An anonymous reader writes "The Washington Post is running a lengthy article today about Xtreme Alternative Defense Systems, an Indiana-based company that says its developed a nonlethal weapon that shoots lightning bolts. This article is an in-depth look at a company that's stirred up some controversy on Slashdot in the past. From the article: 'Lightning guns, heat rays, weapons that can make you hear the voice of God. This is what happens when the war on terror meets the entrepreneurial spirit.'"

Ya know what? When they (terrorists, islamic fundamentalists, and Chechnyans) stop beheading innocent people (particularly American Contractors pouring cement for schools, etc), and using children for human shields, then maybe the Geneva Convention can have some sway over what we do. Until then, VICTORY, NO MATTER THE MEASURE!

In case you soft-bellied, yellow-blooded snookems haven't missed it, THIS is a war we CANNOT afford to lose. Not the Americans, not the Britons, not the Morrocans, not the Egyptians, not the Iraqis, and NOT THE ISRAELIS!! These Islamic Fundamentalist morons would bomb all of us back into the Stone Ages as soon as look at us. And our religion, skin-tone, government, NOTHING, will stop them from wanting to convert or kill us all. Same fuckin' thing they have been wanting to do for 1400 years.

So unless you don't value your life, liberty, and safety in the world where you live, no matter the country or religion or location - take a look around and see if THEY honour the Geneva Convention, and what YOU would do to save the life and limb of your loved ones. We have many young soldiers over there giving their lives and their arms and legs and SOULS so that WE ALL can be FREE! And you all sit here in your comfort and deride us. Remember that the next time you hit Google.com.

Jho - pissed off at being the only one who cares about the guards on the wall who watch over us as we sleep. -- And screw my Karma rating too! :P
