check out this quote from outbreak. I saw this a couple of weeks ago.


Im sure you can see what Im looking at. Im curious why this would be put into a movie and how it shapes peoples minds, this is only one example.

Quote
Chief of Staff: Now, as I understand it, you want to firebomb the town of Cedar Creek, California, population 2600, with something called a "fuel-air bomb", the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in our arsenal. The way it works, it explodes, sucks in all available oxygen to the core, vaporizes everything within a mile of ground zero — men, women, children, and one airborne virus. Destruction complete, case closed, crisis over.
    [He pulls out a small booklet from his back pocket.]

Chief of Staff: This… Constitution of the United States… I've read it cover to cover. I don't find anything in it about vaporizing 2600 American citizens, but it does say — several times — that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process.

Chief of Staff: So, a couple of things before "Cleansweep" is even considered: One, unanimous, unwavering support for the president on this one and I mean public. You're gonna stand there shoulder to shoulder with him - he goes down, you go down. Second, I want an army of experts sighting hundreds of thousands of lab experiments, telling any idiot with a camera, that there was no other way! You got that? Hmm? No person of this government is going to go sneaking off to the Washington post telling how "they were the sold voice of opposition". If there is a voice of opposition out there, I want him in here now!

[Throws a wad of photos on the table.]

I would imagine if the country as a whole was threatened they'd smoke a town or a city.

Some believe they'd smoke two very tall buildings, if it meant controlling oil supplies for 300 million people for the next 40 years.

Silly, really.  That's illegal.
