French Roast Emergency, Day 8

We've now broken the one week mark, and there's no end in sight.

I guess we know now what Rumsfeld was talking about.

There certainly are unknown unknowns, like when we'll have more French Roast, and who will retrieve it for us. Should we continue on in our work while being undersupplied? Should we continue to drink the non French Roast coffee, knowing that as its levels also drop, that this could lead to all out civil war?

We've already had one terrorist incident - an IED explosion in the lab. There was no provocation for that attack. How much more likely is all out conflict when natural resources are unavailable or imbalanced? What will happen if caffeine levels start to drop? It is of utmost importance that leadership is established and the flow of French Roast is restored.

Respect for the standards of basic human rights will help to defuse what is obviously a volatile situation. Continued basic supply disruptions can only lead to more unrest, and the widening of the emergency to neighboring states.
