Google Maps Meets Carmen Sandiego

Craig Miller writes "What better way to end the weekend than by playing a game of Brewster Jennings Protects America? This new game is a Google Maps mashup with the classic 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego' style of game. Run around the world trying to stop a terrorist from carrying an attack. Pretty amusing game and it shows what you can do with the Google Maps API and a little imagination." Despite the jingoistic title and concept it's a lot of fun, and quite challenging on hard.

...the unprovoked invasion of sovereign nations which posed no threat to America.

With the recent sabre-rattling directed at Iran and Syria, the definition of "protect" might become even more perverted and twisted.

I'm curious - what do you think was going on with Iraq for the last 15+ years? And what do you think Syria and Iran has been doing during that same time?

I'm no fan of the Bush Administration and am not keen to defend it's actions. However, I also find it a little odd that you use language that makes other players sound like innocent victoms of a bully superpower.

Well, if you folks would simply stop overthrowing democratically elected governments and replacing them with psychotic tin-pot dictators for your own economic advantage, you wouldn't need to keep going back and overthrowing them every few years, now would you?

Yes yes, survival of the fittest. Ever notice how it's always the bully that espouses this philosophy?
