Time To Start Freaking Out?!
Time To Start Freaking Out?! Is anyone else afraid to read the news these days? The American government seems to be preparing for a nuclear catastrophe, while at the same time, targeting its own nuclear weapons at seven different countries. They have formed a "shadow government" in case they're needed in the even of a nuclear holocaust. Is this supposed to make everyone feel better? Great, a group of Republicans are currently hiding underground and will still be alive, long after we're all vaporized into dust. How thoughtful of them. Should I send them a thank you card? According to The New York Daily News, the White House has ordered the Pentagon to prepare plans for using nuclear weapons against at least seven countries and to build smaller nuclear bombs for certain battlefield situations, according to a published report. The list of countries targeted for nuclear attack: China, Russia, Iraq, North Korea, Iran, Libya and Syria, according to a classified Pentagon report obtained by the Los Angeles Times. OK, I expect countries like Iraq and Iran to be on there but does anyone else out there feel like completely losing their minds when they see China and Russia on the list? The Times said the secret report, given to Congress on January 8th, says the nuclear weapons could be used against targets able to withstand nuclear attack; in retaliation for attack with nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, or "in the event of surprising military developments." The report also says the Pentagon should be prepared to use nuclear weapons in an Arab-Israeli conflict, in a war between China and Taiwan or in an attack by North Korea on the south, and possibly in an attack by Iraq on Israel or another neighbour. Did the events of September 11th give these bastards free reign to use nuclear weapons against any country they deem a threat? Has anyone ever seen the movies The Day After and/or Chains? I remember having lots of nightmares after seeing both those movies when I was a kid. During the last 20 years or so, however, I've felt relatively safe on planet earth. But not anymore. I feel as though these politicians are playing with all our lives and we're powerless to do anything about it. Is a nuclear holocaust what we have to look forward to, courtesy of George W. Bush and company?
