FALLUJAH: Send in the Daleks!
In this age of automation with unpiloted drones flying overhead and bomb defusing robots, perhaps we could borrow a villian from Dr. Who, the dreaded Daleks. Yes, I know they're not entirely mechanical, but they'd be perfect for wiping up the human terrorist debris in Fallujah, Iraq (and elsewhere for that matter). If they didn't kill them outright, I'm sure they'd be terrorized enough by the constant shrill screams of: "Exterminate! Ex-ter-min-ate! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!! "
Remember the Uni-Bomber?
After they tracked down the Uni-bomber to a remote tiny shack in the hills and carted away all his stuff that he'd managed to cram in there, among which was a copy of Algore's book: Earth In The Lurch (to borrow a couple of terms from Rush Limbaugh), a friend at a sci-fi/fantasy club, with tongue firmly in cheek noted: (paraphrasing) When they found this guy, I had to wonder how he could have gotten all that stuff into that tiny little shack. Then it hit me; this guy must be a renegade Time Lord! How else could he have managed to get all of that stuff in there ?! Sounds good to me.
*For those of you not sufficiently versed on the British sci-fi series "Dr. Who," the main character, Dr. Who, traveled about the Earth and Cosmos via a Tardis (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space) unit that resembled a British Police Box (glorified phone booth) on the outside, but was a spacious room on the inside.
