San Francisco, the target zone

[katster]

*gulp*

It's CNN, so I'll see if I can dig up a similiar link elsewhere. Ah, here we go, from sfgate.com

While we're talking about target zones, I should also point out that anti-war protesters have a plan to shut down the Financial District in San Francisco on the first business day after the US starts the war against Iraq.

Off the topic, Yale just said, "If you didn't know, in the US we have two presidents." (Yes, whitestar2, it's a West Wing ref. Maybe I need to start watching that show...anybody have any good places to point me as to where to get started?)

Will it hurt the government more than ordinary citizens?

If no, then (Goddess help me) the peace marchers actions are wrong.

We have tanks surrounding all the major airports here in the UK. As if that's actually going to stop the terrorists. I mean, what do they think a 30mm cannon can do? [they sure as heck can't stop a missile, or tell a terrorist from a tourist.]

The missle thing is the same as Blair calling out the tanks, they're just trying to panic people into supporting the war. Don't let them fool you.
North Korea is appearing threatening because they are threated by the USA [in their eyes that is]. It's a self-fulfiling prophacy. It looks the way it is because we are only getting half the story.
or to put it another way,
I'd be more worried about what Bush is doing, than NK.

Worry about NK. They're doing this for economic reasons. From what I've seen, they're trying to blackmail us into subsidizing their country's electricity, food, and such. These are things even more basic than religion. And they're just nasty enough to pull off their threats. I live in one of their likelier first strike areas. If it hits here I won't notice, so why change my life for someone throwing a nuclear temper tantrum?

Why don't they turn to their allies for help?

Well, you can bug me or Rob or vulture down on irc-chat.net and efnet which have channels serving all the first season in DVD rips. And soon second season DVD rips. Also, if I make it out to your area, it's very easy to bring my CDs along for you to copy. :)
