Russian spies poisoned in sushi bars, getting their final, bitter words out as their innards rot away. Crazy die-hard paramilitary killers ineptly storming parliament with a sack of bombs. Carcinogenic cutting agents in your cocaine. Well, it beats the usual dirge of Iraq bungling and ecological catastrophe denial. Heh, there's a thought, do you think that our grandchildren will make ecocaust denial a crime, the way the Germans have made holocaust denial a crime?

I shudder to think of what the story would have looked like if a guy had tried to storm into a debate toting bombs, a gun, and a knife anywhere in the US. And radiation poisoning! Every news show would have people taping aluminum foil to their windows.
