‘Dark Orange’
Apparently once we go to war the country will automatically go to "dark orange," sort of a midway between orange (high probability of terrorist attack) and red (imminent attack likely). From the article linked above:

[begin excerpt] The impetus for the higher security levels comes from a stream of CIA and FBI intelligence reports for the past six months warning that Saddam Hussein is most likely to try an attack against the United States after an American invasion. In a closed-door Oct. 2, 2002, report to the Senate Intelligence Committee, later declassified, the CIA concluded that while Baghdad was drawing a line against going after U.S. targets directly, that would immediately change once an invasion began. The report concluded that "Saddam might decide that the extreme step of assisting Islamist terrorists (to use unconventional weapons to attack) the United States would be his last chance to exact vengeance by taking a larger number of victims with him." Asked that day on the likelihood of Saddam doing this, CIA Director Tenet replied: "Pretty high, in my view." More recently, the CIA has been warning about the possibility of terrorist attacks on U.S. troops abroad and Mideast oil fields. [end excerpt]

Why are we doing this war thing, again? We're like idiot children poking a hornet's nest to see what will happen.

I went to the Northampton anti-war candlelight vigil last night, not because I think it will do anything to change the inevitable war we're going to start probably today, but for myself to at the very least confirm that many, many people agree with me. It was pretty with all the candles, and the crowd was huge; we stretched up both sides of Main Street. But, you know, a fat lot of good that will do. After millions and millions of people demonstrating around the world against this war have been brushed off without a moment's contemplation by the administration, I know we can't make a difference.
