Mid Summer 2004: Everyone's starting to relax now that we aren't all dead from any asteroid and the economy hasn't tanked yet and once again threats from al Q. prove to be for attention only. Everything's pretty quiet around the globe. Every now and then there's a bomb that goes off or sporadic fighting in both Isreal and Iraq but nothing major. Transfer of Iraqi power goes off without a hitch. And we're still waiting for the third person to die. Regan, Ray, and ???. Maybe that's not true either? After a busy spring and early summer with hoaxes, people are starting to become more skeptical.
Late Mid Summer 2004 (Late July - August): A new computer virus hits. A headache more than anything. After a long period of good economic numbers, it seems the economy and job growth has leveled off. The price of oil is fluctuating still.

Late Summer 2004 (Late August - Early Sept.): 4 major oil pipelines in the Mid East are either bombed or Sabbatoged. OPEC decides that our continued involvment in Middle Eastern affairs has brought this on, so they cut off our oil supply. And that's when "it" hits the fan. Every aspect of our economy is devastated by this and takes a huge plunge.

Well, the 'predictions' are already wrong. They say the 'economy is still in horrible shape'. Sorry to burst the anti-Bush crowds collective bubbles, but the economy is growing and doing fine. It's doing better than the last 6 months of the Clinton presidency when it went into recession.

Sorry Aussies, but if I had to guess I'd say that the US Government is thinking the same thing I'm thinking: There might not be any real reason to nuke Australia if there is a third world war- it should be OK.
I'm thinking Bush may have plans to annex you and move the American elite into your country when it all goes down. He certainly seems to have his eyes on every other country in the world, why not Aus?

Iraq stops pumping oil in south
BASRA, Iraq (AFP) - Iraq (news - web sites)'s Southern Oil Company has stopped pumping oil after militia threatened to attack local oil infrastructure, a company spokesman said.
"We have stopped pumping oil for security reasons," Hasaneen Mohammed al-Mohammedi said Monday without providing further details.
Security was stepped up around vital oil infrastructure in the south which is currently the only outlet for Iraqi exports after an attack on the northern pipeline brought limited exports there to a halt last week.

Seriously though? Some of those things MIGHT Happen, but not to that scale, the world as we know it won't end, America won't be destroyed any time soon (wishful thinking on your part, eh?)
