Heh,
that why I gave it the subject line I did.

It worries me that everything that was portrayed in B5 "as a way off, futuristic - it'll never happen here series" has started to come to pass since 9/11.

When B5 was written no-one would have ever thought something like NightWatch would ever be possible again in the US.

Now, look what JMS indicates - things are getting kind of spooky...

And don't get me started on similarlities between President Clarke and Dubbya...

And no, I don't think that Saddam or Bin Laden is affiliated with the Shadows....

...But maybe Dubbya (or his advisers) are.
