(12:45) Hamas: Anthrax should be put in US water supply

Atallah Abu Al-Subh, a columnist for the Hamas weekly Al-Risala based in Gaza, writes open letters to prominent figures, ideologies, and events. His most recent letter, No. 163, was titled "To Anthrax":

"The truth is that I wondered how to begin! Should I greet you [i.e. anthrax], or should I curse you? Should I hold my tongue?... I will begin by saying: Oh Anthrax, despite your wretchedness, you have sown horror in the heart of the lady of arrogance, of tyranny, of boastfulness! Your gentle touch has made the US's life rough and pointless...

"You have entered the most fortified of places; [you have entered] the White House and they left it like horrified mice ... The Pentagon was a monster before you entered its corridors... And behold, it now transpires that its men are of paper and its commanders are of cardboard, and they hasten to flee as soon as they see - only see - chalk dust!

"Nevertheless, you have found your way to only eight American breasts so far ... May you continue to advance, to permeate, and to spread. If I may give you a word of advice, enter the air ... the water faucets from which they drink, and the pens with which they draft their traps and conspiracies against the wretched peoples."

(The Middle East Media Research Institute translated the above op-ed piece which originally appeared in Al-Risala)

Well, gee. If he wants to be so generous I'll reciprocate. I think I'll bake him an anthrax pie he can share with his cohorts. My mama taught me to share. Oh, by the way--not all of us are scared, just pissed off.
