Here's a page from "The Register":

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/16/sat_leonid/

"The shower should be visible in Europe, Africa, parts of the North America (north-

eastern parts), and Brazil.".

I bet it's raining. Four in the morning to you, Squire...

When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.
