Ever hear of "safety in numbers"? I'm thinking of just dropping
hundreds of cats (from the air) onto places with landmines. Then,
record it and simulcast it on TV and the web for Pay-Per-View
entertainment.
Maybe we could get Regis Philbin to host a game show ... "Who
wants to blow up a cat with a landmine?"
Oh, I give up. Laugh already.

Um, if the US believes it could even possibly do anything responsibly,
then why not just stop building weapons of destruction and ask the
rest of the world to be responsible in the same way?
Silly.
