I think I go that right? : ^ ) Close. You have to be sworn to an ACCEPTABLE state government. "Terrorist" is the new "Commie Pinko Atheist Gay." It translates, loosely, as "anyone Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove doesn't like." Syrians, Iranians, North Koreans, Cubans, Venezuelans, Democrats, Liberals, leftists of any stripe, anyone attacking, disturbing, or documenting Israel-US interests or ties, and anyone looking disapprovingly at Shrubbus Maximus will be terrorists REGARDLESS of uniforms and loyalty oaths. All is not lost, however. Once a week (or whenever the poll numbers start dropping) one lucky member of one of the above groups, chosen at random, will be declared the "Arch Terrorist" and receive promises of free room, board, medical care, and dental adjustments, for the rest of their lives, as well as far more press and media coverage than anyone on the planet except missing teenage blondes with big <cough>. I never thought of how much I'd miss being a conspiracy theorist. Now I'm turning out to be right, and I can't even feel good about "I told you so." -- R.
