The Null Device

Political rant of the day: So the US has reserved the right to launch a nuclear first strike against a list of "rogue nations" (including China, alongside old favourites like Libya and Iraq) if they do anything suspicious. Though now analysts say that a first strike is unlikely, and the most likely scenario is nuclear retaliation for a terrorist attack. Oh, that makes it OK then. Some underground cells connected with the Nefralian dictator (who is most likely a former CIA puppet gone rogue) kill a few thousand innocent American civilians in a terrorist attack, and in return the US nukes the capital of Nefralia, killing a few million men, women and children. Which is perfectly fair and just, because each one of our lard-assed, SUV-driving, TV-watching, shiny-crap-consuming lives is worth a thousand of theirs. Besides, they don't like us much over there. And it's not like they're real people or anything, in the sense of wearing fashion labels and watching Friends and hanging out in shopping malls and keeping up on celebrity gossip and doing regular-people things like that. Heck, most of them probably wouldn't even know who Jennifer Lopez or Tom Cruise are or anything. Giving how boring and lame their lives must be, we'd probably be doing them a favour.
