China and Kazakhstan are currently holding what they call an "anti-terror" drill in the Almaty region. Who knew that Kazakhstan had such a big terror problem! I just thought they had issues providing basic services to its people and getting rid of those pesky nuclear weapons left behind when Russia stopped dominating the country.

The SCO, consisting of China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, announced in April that it would also hold joint anti-terror drills in 2007.

Why don't they call the drills "Preparing to Conquer the World" drills.
