There is no doubt in my mind, that if the Osama Gang succeeded in nuking a US homeland target, the Middle East as we know it today would be gone within 48 hours. With full support of 80% of the US population that would no doubt happen.

US firms pledge millions for tsunami relief effort

More than 150,000 are dead after a giant, earthquake-induced wave swept the coastlines of Indonesia, Sri Lanka and 11 other countries on Dec. 26. A massive relief effort is now underway, with governments, individuals and companies contributing support.

By the middle of Friday, 132 of America's largest firms had pledged a total of $188 million in cash and in-kind donations, according to the Center for Corporate Citizenship, which is part of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
