"American Hiroshima"
Cor ad cor loquitur's Dave Armstrong links to this article, which he describes as both "perhaps the most frightening thing [he's] ever read" and "[o]ne [r]eason to [f]ight [t]errorists in Iraq and [e]lsewhere":

Al-Qaida nukes already in U.S.: Terrorists, bombs smuggled across Mexico border by MS-13 gangsters.

Let me say that I agree with Mr. Armstrong on the former but strongly disagree on the latter, if only about the "Iraq" part.

Here's what we face, according to the article:

According to captured al-Qaida leaders and documents, the plan is called the "American Hiroshima" and involves the multiple detonation of nuclear weapons already smuggled into the U.S. over the Mexican border with the help of the MS-13 street gang and other organized crime groups.

Mr. Armstrong is right that this is extremely frightening, but I cannot see how Mr. Bush's War will in any way prevent it; rather, the "pre-emptive" war will more likely only precipitate an American Hisoshima.

Are these terrorists even in Iraq or even Iraqis abroad? No. Are terrorists aiming at the United States because of our freedoms, as our leaders assert? No. They are after us because of our empire, which is doing us no good anyway. It's high time to get rid of it.

Wake up, Americans. Wake up, Catholic neoconservatives. Wake up, even though it is already probably too late.
