I guess you have to be a target before you finally get it.

Speaking at the United Nations, Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said he had information that at least three people had been killed.
...
"I think the world should be united in its combat against terrorism," he said shortly after meeting Secretary General Kofi Annan on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
"It's not a problem of Israel any more. Terrorism can hit anywhere," he said.
We want it off our soil. So we brought the fight back into their backyards...and front yards...and side streets...and alleys. This is unfortunate for those who truly are innocent and are exposed to this fight.
But where terrorism exists, people die.

Australia Targeted
Anyone who opposes terrorists will be targeted.
Anyone who wants attention will eventually be found out.
Time is the Sister of Truth.
AUSTRALIA
Device found on Aussie jet
Posted Thu, 23 Sep 2004
Australian domestic airline Virgin Blue said on Thursday that an incendiary device had been found on one of its jets and admitted that its staff had failed to follow correct safety procedures.
Commercial operations chief David Huttner said a baggage handler found the device in the cargo hold of a 737-300 jet at Sydney airport on Monday morning.
...
An initial police report has concluded the device contained thermite, a chemical used in grenades.
Device that burns
"It was not something that goes boom, it was something that burns which means somebody had to be there to light it. It was clearly placed there by somebody who had access to the airfield because it didn't go through checked baggage," Huttner said.
...
Wrapped in toilet roll tube
The device was found wrapped in a cardboard toilet roll tube with a firework sparkler attached as a 30-second fuse. Huttner suggested a disgruntled airport worker may have planted the device deliberately, a suggestion strongly disputed by trade unionists.
...
"We believe it was placed in a way that it would be found and draw the attention that it did today. Somebody is trying to make a show out of this whole thing in our view," added Huttner
...
Australia is widely seen as among the top targets of Islamic extremists due to Prime Minister John Howard's strong support of last year's US-led invasion of Iraq.
However, to date no successful terrorist attack has been carried out on Australian soil.
Howard declined to comment on the finding on Thursday, saying he would wait for police investigations to proceed further.
Smart move. Find out what's really going on.
It would come as no surprise if it was terrorist-related.

Drinking costs Irish $3-billion yearly
Posted Thu, 23 Sep 2004
Alcohol-related health problems in Ireland are increasing, costing the nation more than €2.65-billion last year, according to a government study published on Wednesday.
The second report of the Strategic Task Force on Alcohol (STFA) said the Irish were amongst the highest consumers of alcohol in Europe, with a consumption rate of 13.5 litres of pure alcohol per adult last year.
"There is no doubt that alcohol-related harm is one of the biggest public health issues facing Ireland today from an economic, social and personal standpoint," said Health Minister Micheal Martin.
"This harm is not limited to the individual drinker but also to those around them and to society," said Martin.
"How ahrrrrr ye, lass? Come down t' the pub an' 'ave yerself a beer."
No thanks. I'm trying to quit.
