A good way to know of the coming danger will be to watch the rats.
Who are the rats? Anyone with power, influence, and wealth.
Like vermin fleeing a sinking ship or a burning house.

Flyer, I missed that one. Do you have a lead on this? It is interesting because a few days ago I was reading a paper from Brazil or somewhere , and there was a mention of some local tension over a group of U S troops on a traing exercise in the area.
Curiouser and curiouser.

Care to inlighten those of us less educated on what your post means. I'm just not sure what your getting at.

Yes, it was just this type of 'feeling' that touched me when I heard that the Iraq leadership was taking the whole summer for vacation.
Now in the middle of a hot war, being fought on your own soil, does that sound right?
And a vacation usually means wives, kids, girlfriends, whatever. So you take the people that are important and leave an area you expect to get 'uncomfortable'.
And the U S never said a word about it.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?
