| Message | Will this be applied to the ICP as well for recruiting Deltarians and almost starting a war? |

| Message | "Will this be applied to the ICP as well for recruiting Deltarians and almost starting a war?" No because we didn't recruit the Deltarians, they invited themselves. The AFF, however, actually did do terrorism. This won't be applied to them, this will be applied if they ever kill hostages. |

| Message | I should point out that the death penalty is hardly a deterrant to terrorists. Most of them are determined to blow themselves up in the process anyway. |

| Message | Oh, ICP, have you checked what the Deltarians are doing recently? They have ALL voted for war on us AND threatened with NUCLEAR and BIOLOGICAL attacks! Well done. |

| Message | Oh, come on. It was a bluff. They're an insane oligarchy. If they nuked us, they'd lose their power base (which would've also been nuked). |
