Recipe for Trouble


Take one population force fed fear for five years to the point where a large, but harmless, business deal (Dubai Ports) can create near panic; add one political party with sinking fortunes in need of a new nationalist issue; stir in one large, volatile sub-population (threatened with economic annilhilation and deportation; add a dash of burning (Mexican) flag; sprinkle with inflammatory rhetoric ; garnish with national tv figure riding ratings rocket ; simmer until dish ignites from spark set by incendiary and charismatic orator on one side or the other (to be named later, but how much later ?) and serve.

Your fear is pathetic, your cowardice, your life story.
