Why
The threat of terrorist attack, while grave, isn't the only major threat facing the world today.

There is a powerful group of men at the helm of the world's most powerful country whose decisions, opinions and actions can, and often do, have potent negative result for the world at home and at large.

What
realThreat is a PHP script designed to keep us (the potential victims of these men and their machinations) abreast of the threat level that the administration of George W. Bush may pose at any one time.

How
realThreat does this by monitoring the Homeland Security Advisory System and "translating" the current threat level into an advisory for the threat level posed by the Bush Administration. It then posts the approriate icon to your web page.
