Sadly this type of violence has been underway for a while. This could be the headlines for any day. Nothing to get millennium excited about.

Watchin CNN while computer was in use by DWGI; CNN of course has nothing but babies and weddings and hostage releases.

Ok, I'll buy that a couple of these are vaguely millennium related but most clearly have nothing to do with the date. That's like calling the highjacking in SW Asia "Christmas-related violence". Try to keep some perspective.....
