The extremists of the Middle East will attack us with explosives and blood shed. The extremists of the Far East will attack us with stealth and technology. Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean we aren't under global attack. <BR> <BR>I wonder what they think the world would look like with a hole where the US used to be. No more dollars and a literally "disintegrated" world political system. We've been both the Good Guys and the Bad Guys, unquestionably. But we can't help also being the Big Guys. If our internet goes down, our financial centers go down, our economy implodes, the world's go with it. Sorry about that, folks.

Yeah, well, for now worry about this virus.
