Are they out yet? I bet they aren't there for 30 years. Maybe just until they agree to pay a bribe? People do what they can get away with. In Saudi Arabia, people are well-behaved and don't steal from shops. They like to keep their hands attached to their arms. In Singapore, there is almost no graffiti, though I spotted one the other day in a nice clean white tunnel = note tunnel, not out on a rooftop in plain view = culprit very nervous. It was a hurried teeny one too, barely a foot long. Not a major work of "art". BTW, did you know that Islamic Jihad women are also keen on hacking off infidel heads and especially Jewish infidel heads? When it's total war ElM, you don't have the luxury of picking and choosing. Islamic Jihad will dress itself in a burqua and hide among women and children if that will help them murder. Hiroshima involved the whole community. The whole community is what produced the Japanese invasions. It would be nice to just get the individuals who think along the Islamic Jihad "kill all Jews" lines, but they don't wear a star of Islam on their arms for easy identification and crowd together in one place. Anyway, if the threat is real enough and certain enough, the problem goes away. It's only when they think they can get away with something that the actual punishment is required. That's the main reason to put effigies of Jesus on a cross in every town - show the citizens what they can expect if they step out of line and disobey authorities. That's the reason to put the statue of the Roman Emperor in each city - keep them in awe and reminded of just who is in charge. Then all stays peaceful. One day, just explode one way up high - say 100 km. No damage to speak of. Probably wouldn't even hurt the Van Allen belt or whatever is up there. But it would be a bright light in the sky and would make people think carefully. The USA has LOTS to spare. Mqurice
