(http://media.salon.com/2013/05/130327184152-ctw-vo-locusts-swarm-madagascar-00002810-story-top.jpg)In a scene out of a B horror movie, billions of locusts have descended on Madagascar, imperiling one of the planet’s most diverse ecosystems. According to CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/27/world/africa/madagascar-locusts), it’s the country’s worst infestation since the the 1950s and could consume as much two-thirds of the island.

"These terrorists must be stopped. They are destroying a pristine ecological habitat and wildlife along with endangering the lives of the women, children and men of Madagascar. We owe it to the world to eliminate this threat. Therefore as President, I have decided to use a combination of napalm and low yield nuclear weapons on Madagascar. Madagascar is the new training ground for these terrorists. They will soon move to the shores of Africa and target more pristine areas and breed a new batch of terrorists. This combination of weapons will eliminate the future threat and capability of these terrorists. While this may seem like an extreme measure to some, we have very good intelligence that these terrorists will spread and their next target will be the shores of Africa. We as nation owe it to the people of Africa to protect them if we have a capability."
