Bill Sykes' Newsletter
from America.
(September 2003)
An ex-Brit gives his views-(without fear
or favor)---of the American Scene
Preamble.
I have decided to discuss in this issue, (and
maybe continue the discussion in a future issue), a description
of Weapons of Mass Destruction, (or as Americans would
say the ABC of WMD's - oh how Americans love abbreviations),
and I will start by looking at a couple of futuristic
WMD's that may have been on the drawing boards and perhaps
may have been developed over the past couple of decades.
 I
am sure that there will be certain people who consider
the material too complex, too sensitive, too boring, too
far fetched, or whatever, and give the old excuse that
as there is nothing that they can do about future terrorist
acts, why worry about things which they have no control
over. I’m afraid that is where they are wrong. If
one looks back in history, we find that from the days
of terror imposed upon the people by despots and tyrants
such as Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Mussolini, Hitler,
Saddam Hussein (not withstanding), (to name but a few),
we find that we, the people, eventually triumphed over
evil and brought them to justice.
Question: Would you the reader be interested, and more
importantly involved, if you were to consider how the
lives of your children, grand children and their children
could be affected in a future world of bestial oppression
under the constant threat of the use of Weapons of Mass
Destruction, and considering the potential future of generations
to come, would you see this as something worth fighting
for?
The answer of course, I’m sure would be a resounding
YES!
 You
of course know that there are many people on the lunatic
fringe who will stop at nothing to fulfil their desires
to destroy this world even at the expense of their own
lives.
Please forgive me, I do not mean to preach, especially
as an individual who is one of little faith, except for
a firm belief in the eternal goodness and proverbial kindness
of the people of this world in general.
So—if there is a message to be had, it must be:
"We the people must be prepared to take up the challenge
and learn as much as we can about WMD's and any other
possible weaponry of a violent nature, and must be prepared
to try and stop this insanity by all means at our disposal".
