A choice quote from the article: 'One AOL user sent Saddam a one-word message: 'Imminent.' Attached to the Aug. 6 e-mail was a photograph of an atomic mushroom cloud.'
Of course, an atomic mushroom cloud would only affect Saddam Hussein. Can we expect to hear the phrase 'surgical nuke' used in the future?
They are jealous of our freedoms. Our democracy. We a are one nation UNDER GOD. They resent our freedom of speech, our inalienable rights. I propose we never allow another article from this Unamerican Website. Freedom has been attacked, and Freedom will defend itself. Fredom of Speech must triumph! DE-REGISTER THE REGISTER!
> look at where our bases, are: Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Italy, Germany, and Japan. All of these are hotspots in the world that could flare up
i would just like to add here that USA has bases (read: spying installations) in Australia too. Not a hotspot as far as I am aware:

> Should the American public go back to the stone age?
the article says:
America's consumption 'footprint' is 12.2 hectares per head of population compared to the UK's 6.29ha while Western Europe as a whole stands at 6.28ha. In Ethiopia the figure is 2ha, falling to just half a hectare for Burundi, the country that consumes least resources.
The UK does have hot running water, automobiles, computers, TVs and sturdy houses _and_ it is also an industrialised nation..
Germany also does quite well if these figures are to be believed..
So does the EU want to 'cripple' the US so it can 'catch up'? (see discussion above)
I find the US patriotism in these discussions a bit scary - does any criticism of the US have to be dismissed as an 'Unamerican' threat?
"Based on studies to date, unless there is inadequate or poorly distributed precipitation, the net effects of climate change on the agricultural segment of the U.S. economy over the 21st century are generally projected to be positive"
I live in Australia which is following the US lead not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, and is also up there with the US in the per capita greenhouse emissions.. & I don't interpret environmental concern as an "attack" on my country.

what does the US EPA think?
