All Non-essential Staff Advised to Stay Home!

US asks non-essential diplomatic staff to leave
By Michel Cousins, Arab News Staff

JEDDAH, 14 February 2003 — The US State Department yesterday told non-essential staff at the US Embassy in Riyadh and the American consulates in Jeddah and Dhahran that they could return home if they feel they want to.

........................
Just an opportunity to recount a (I thought) funny cartoon (Arlo and Janis):
"Honey, they're asking all non-essential staff to stay home."
"Why, is there an emergency?"
"No, they're just asking non-essential staff to stay home."
..................
Hmmmmm, maybe a good idea?
