The new America

Perhaps they have been like this for a long time and it is only becoming noticeable to me now. This new America:

it is as if they are still in an arms race but have not noticed that there is no opposing party racing against them any more.



American Congress approved funding for research to develop mini nukes... to fight terrorism.

In my mind, they are developing the perfect terrorist weapon here.



A second recent example of the US developing the perfect terrorist weapon: those extremely lethal new viruses. They just developed a version of mousepox which does not respond to antiviral drugs or a vaccine. They did the same with the cowpox virus, which infects a range of animals - including humans!!



With everyone focusing on Iraq and the mess developing there (completely according to predictions pre-war, I might add) this is slipping by mainly unnoticed.

While these developments should terrify us more, especially the latter, which could endanger all life on the entire planet.



I for one am very worried. Who will stop this runaway train? The people of the USA are so ill-informed and complacent in their belief in their politicians, they will only speak out when it is too late.



The big boys are playing with really big toys and they could get us all killed.

I don't want to play any more...
