Of Cold War mentality and Cowboy Geography... After all, the US did invade Iraq...

Above line was meant in jest to those who would argue it, and in seriousness to those who would agree with it: I don't have the energy to argue.

One slashdotter put it nicely in response to the recent plot:
It looks like most of those arrested are Pakastani's [sic] so I am guessing the U.S. will be bombing Iran shortly.

The Kraken, which is found primarily in Scandinavian myth, was a huge sea creature. It was said to lie at the bottom of the sea for a long time and then it would rest at the surface....Like the Midgard serpent in the Norse myths, the Kraken was supposed to rise to the surface at the end of the world.

There wasn't any point as such that is related to any current affairs. It was more a humorous, if inaccurate, reflection. Move it to spam if you like.

No no, see, Iraq is NORTH of Saudi Arabia, and most of the 9/11 people were Saudi nationals, so go one country north of Pakistan. Well skip China, Mongolia and South Korea. It's North Korea next for sure.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Pakistan like a thousand miles west of NK? And I doubt we go to war with NK. We won't attack any nuclear armed country without a damn good reason. And we don't want to piss off China.
I know the voices in my head arn't real but they usually have some pretty good ideas.

Does it really matter all that much Nuke? It was a joke. Nothing more. Obviously the next country directly up from Pakistan is China. I was just being silly like the slashdotter was. Also, North Korea is only ostensibly nuclear armed. They claim it, but there is no real proof to back the claim. We wouldn't want to piss of China no, but there's nothing they could really do to stop us short of nukes if we did decide to invade N. Korea.
