I've always wondered why no one ever expected anything important to 
happen late at night or on weekends. If I were Iran or North Korea 
I'd schedule the first bombing run when no cameras were ready. That 
way we could all be wiped away never knowing what hit us. By everyone 
I mean everyone on the planet as the retaliatory strikes began. I'd 
appreciate at least the 15 minutes notice to cut up my credit cards.
