I think the very fact that even the most outrageous of ideas have a certain level of conceivability just goes to demonstrate the sheer madness of today's political world landscape. Or maybe it's just that advances in technology have allowed regimes to give a fuller vent to their insanity than was possible in the past. Imagine the shit-storm that would've occured if the Romans had gotten hold of a nuclear bomb, or even worse, the internet!
