The irony of 2004 may well be that the imperium will struck down not by WMDs but by Bovines of Mass Destruction or BMDs (if not death by a thousand acronyms).
Of course the drug of choice for the great majority of the American public is beef and it surely was only a matter of time before BMDs finally found their mark, smuggled into every American home in the shape of the innocuous hamburger, in a terrorist campaign that truly dwarfs the efforts of Osama and al-Qu’eda.
