improvised explosive devices

I can just see it coming. Reading in the Post Courier today p20 Pres Bush alleged, "Coalition forces have seized IEDs and components that were clearly produced in Iran." How many days will we wait for the next step: "Therefore we must stop at source weapons that are intended to harm American troops." How many days then until we hear "USA issues an ultimatum that Iran has 24 hours to give up its supplies of IEDs." Then how many hours till the bombs start to kill Iranian civilians? Then how many days till we find out there were no IEDs there anyway?
What a pity that yesterday's romantic has become today's cynic. How ugly the ugly side of human nature is that it can turn the noble savage into the most depraved of beasts. Stand in the corner and hide your heads in shame Bush and Blair and Howard you repulsive deviants of humanity. You are the depraved ones. Tell us some more lies. Produce the evidence - "Oh, we've got labels that say this IED was made in Iran. And we've got invoices with Saddam and Osama and that dead guy in the Hague that noone likes ordering the IEDs and satellite pictures of empty trucks. Unlike last time, this time its really true. Fair dinkum. We gotter start bombin now before the terrorists get 'em. We got elections comin up, there's no time to lose."
