So far, so good (surprisingly). Colin Powell seems to have had a moderating effect on them although Rice and Rumfeldt(?) are a worry. They're ideologues, Powell has real experience.

Whatever you think of US politics, just than insert deity of your choice that Ronny Ray-Gun isn't still in the chair - the guy believed in Armageddon, and would have pressed the button to start it. Do you really think for a moment the incumbent is any better? I think the man is inherently stable - or more stable than Ronnie was anyway Anyway, should we move this to slug-chat ? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Shit! Possibly thousands of people are dead. The WTO towers can hold 50,000 workers. Both towers are down. Well, if we are going to have WW3 now is the time it is most likely. I wonder if any buildings in Australia or Britain will be targeted? James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

All I wonder if any buildings in Australia or Britain will be targeted? Nothing here just the States. Both towers and one part of the Pentagon. That is extremely serious. Being an ex-serviceman I can say that I don't like any of it. The news reports on the TV go on about being worse than Perl Harbor . I think we know what that means ? I've been expecting it for years. Vogon comstructor fleet should turn up tomorrow ?
