Right now, terrorists have attacked another city. Countries are taking sides. UN diplomacy has failed. I’m special agent Jack Bauer, this is the longest day of my life. The following takes place in the end of days…

Megadeth in the Age of Terror

Over the last several years, we’ve seen a bitter escalation of warfare on a barbaric scale. The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction has made us paranoid and vulnerable. Fear has overshadowed our world, fear of terrorism, fear of one another. World powers are on the edge and forming dangerous alliances against us. As the UN wastes time debating, it seems that all-out war may be inevitable. Bureaucrats want results but never want to get their hands dirty. They adhere to their resolutions, expecting the enemy to do the same. Unfortunately, this type of diplomacy is a luxury we can’t afford. Through lies and corruption, world delegates have only served to strengthen our enemies. Because of this failure, we now need to act aggressively to counter these threats. We cannot fall victim to our own inaction. We are living in the Age of Terror–and it’s time for deeds, not words. To stop the enemy, we have to be forceful, uncompromising, and rely on instinct. You have to be resilient, dependable, and unstoppable. Extreme times call for extreme actions. This is a war for the end game. It’s about survival. You have to do whatever it takes…Like Megadeth.

They know how to get the job done!
