When
\n the Dowbrigade posted <\/a>on the inevitability and possible usefulness
\n of a nuclear strike somewhere in the world, he was dismissed as a paranoid
\n fanatic. It wasn’t the first time. We have many enemies who lurk
\n in the shadows of cyberspace waiting for us to mess up or let down

\n fireball would reach tens of millions of degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n
