in this story was the admission by the "official" that expanding the crusade theatre more overtly (green night shots of bombs destroying Damascus) will improve the popularity ratings of Mr. Danger.

I regret to say I believe he is right.

I would like to see Europe, both NATO and non-NATO countries get off the crusade bus, but I am not optimistic that this will come to pass.

Ultimately, of course, it will be up to the people of Europe ;)

One man's conspiracy is another man's business plan.
