I think it is good satire..

Just imagine what a westerner would think, when another nation did what the US does, to him.

We know the story is incorrect. Obama is playing golf and cannot be disturbed over trivialities like a airstrike in Denver.

Not difficult to imagine if it happened here in a major American city. Such a strike would be followed by a brief outburst of patriotic euphoria as parking space would suddenly be available. Plus, the gun nuts would have an excuse to shoot at anything that moves in the sky.

This period of euphoria would be followed by a period of disappointment as the government decides to turn said parking space into an urban park with some banal name like Freedom park, Independence Park, etc. Lawyers clean up on the lawsuits.

Within three months disappointment morphs into faux outrage as some local imam has the effrontery to try and build a mosque within three blocks of the park that nobody wanted in the first place.

In six months a flurry of conspiracy theories emerge that state that the city was actually bombed by FEMA, the Illuminati, Da Jooz, the Reptile Overlords, Chemtrail Ken. In short by everbody but whom the government claims did it.

I see a recurring theme here.

Phoo!

I feared Syria could be under massive US attack tomorrow, for owning printed Google maps of Colorado.

Well, technically anyone who owns a printed rectangle is guilty of owning a map of Colorado. It's that dull-looking.

But if you pass it off as Wyoming you're off the hook.

I'd have thought the lack of a link in the OP spoke volumes.

That entire synopsis is already in the history books for 14 years this September.

You really had to ask, on a computer game website, whether this story was true? Really? Ya don't think that if this story were true that the story might has been covered on, oh, I don't know, every single news service in the entire world?

Well - all the others I contacted (i.e. Granny/Neighbour/Reuters/Mrs. Merkel/my cat) didn't answer, realized it to be a satire, called me funny or simply understood the problem it covers.

Since Germans don't understand or 'have' humour, you had to seriously mean what you wrote

[Kaptlt.Endrass]

Germans do have humor, mein freund. I speak from personal experience. (I am (part) German)
