Apparently the American embassies in Africa are not as security concious
as
the ones here in Europe.  A friend of mine works out there and said it
would be shockingly easy to just walk in leave a bag in the front porch
and
walk away.  On another poiint, what was this CIA operation about that
stirred whoever it was to launch the attack?

On the point of SG2 scenarios and tying in with something that was
mentioned earlier is it likely that there would be interstellar
terrorist
organisations in FT universe?  The LLAR seems close in as far as it is
very
Mercenary based.  Would smaller nations be involved in acts of sabotage
and
so on against hostile major powers?  Is it this sort of brushfire war
that
the UN might be involved with in the core systems?

The more I think about it the more interesting the UN becomes as an odd
sort of power in Full Thrust.
