When the United States begins weekly duck and cover exercises in
all of its schools nationwide (knowing that it is a futile
exercise, yet necessary to show some degree of control over our
lives); when the populace as a whole begins building fallout
shelters in their basements, and backyards, and neighborhoods, and
stocking them with supplies for a month or more; when we sit in
fear listening to the radio and/or watching the television for news
updates regarding the blockade around Iran (figuratively speaking,
that is) and wondering if this may be our last day, our last hour
on earth -- then, and only then, will Iran be as great a threat to
the US as the Soviet Union under Khrushchev. Where the hell was
McCain in the '50s and '60s. . . certainly not in the United
States!
