Well now, I am not really a conspiricy theorist, but then again, after playing Deus Ex how can you not be, at least a little bit?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the game the "Terrorist" bombing of The Statue of Liberty prompted the froming of UNATCO, the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition. UNATCO was a multi-national military conglomerate with almost unlimited authority to deal with Terrorist attacks, where "Terrorist Attack" was largely defined by them. Of course, the world of Deus Ex is a bit more dreary than our own, a bleak future we may see (who knows?)

But now we have a massive terrorist attack on the US, and president Bush asks Congress for permission to use force to fight terrorism; not only against those responsible but also terrorists in general. Now congress did grant the 'Functional Equivilent' of a declaration of war (*cough* Veitnam *cough*) but only to take out the fokers who crashed those planes. But I don't think this is the last we'll hear about Winning the War against terrorism in general, and Bush is asking all our allies to help in this fight. Can the real-life incarnation of UNATCO really be that far behind? Remember, the game is based on actual conspiricy theories; its not just made-up bull to entertain and make money (well, not totally anyway).

Oh well, what do you all think? Am I the only one who is worried? Or are all Americans blinded by fury and rage? <IMG SRC="wot.gif" border="0">

See now that's typical.

Regardless of the actual theories that spawned the game, can you really deny something Deus Ex predicted seems to be coming true in real life? :eek:

That you're paranoid doesn't mean that they are NOT after you!
