With September 11th approaching, it seems about time for a sweepstakes. What will happen?
|
| Nameless |
| I don't think most nations on the happy end of the US stick have us at the happy end of theirs, lately. Not enough for sympathy. We wore that out some time ago from everyone in the world but Tony Blair and Arial Sharon. Even France has gone and told us we're being unnecessarily belligerent. In retrospect, that embarrasses me somehow, that I must resort to agreeing with France on military matters... I'll go for the third one, give or take a few days. |

| Nrr...I'd have to say nothing will happen but some small outbreaks of minor (compared to last year's) acts of mayhem. And terrorism. Because, the terrorists aren't seriously THAT stupid, despite Bush's suspicions. So, the fourth one. |

| The Reichstag will be set ablaze and Germany will invade Poland. Oops. I meant the Congress. And USA. And Iraq. Jeez .. |

| Anyway, the much ado about 9-11-02 seems silly when one considers the very idea of scheduled terrorism. The very point of terrorism is to make people unsafe everywhere and at all times. Blowing up some building once a year seems to work against this aim. Would make everyone feel pretty safe 364 days a year. Not to say that a few unorganized loonies are not going to stir up trouble. My money is on the fourth choice. |

| Well, only 3 hours left of the 11th here now, but I can tell you folks on the wrong side of the date line that it will have been going to have been one rip-snorter of a day! What with the explosive elephants and the complete and vengeful TEOTWAWKI birds (I think they came from New Zealand and did not require construction) eating the koalas. I can't tell you the ending, but if you're just waking up - you're in for a hell of a day! Hoorah! |

| I'm half expecting Bush to announce 'We are at war with Iraq, we have always been at war with Iraq. War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.'. But then again, I am a pessimist. |

| No need to announce it - this is America, the populace already lives by those maxims. |

| I'm sure the Youth League of Spies, excuse me, Bush's TIPS program will report me for that post. I'll be seeing you at the Chestnut Tree Cafe, sipping my Patriot Gin. At least they''l wait for me to truly love Big Brother before they execute me. Again, I'm a pessimist. |

| Just out of curiousity, do Muslims use our calendar? If they don't, won't the anniversary of the Trade centre crash be a different date than the North American date? |
