Last night my "It's Been Awhile" post turned into a semi-rambling-rant I suppose. Although, I must admit that I have a hard time admitting that it was something of a rant, I guess some might see it that way.
So, I step back from it today and ask myself if I really think the situation in the Middle East is as bad as I indicated yesterday. Yes, it is. The Islamist World is uniting into a Sharia State that surrounds Israel. The U.S. is the "Great Satan" that stands in the way of the obliteration of Israel. Maybe. I suspect they can do quite well on their own. But, there is Russia that seeks to be relevant again by backing the so-called "little guys" like Syria. And don't forget China that is eagerly licking its chops over the potential to step in and gain control of a significant oil resource. Yep, the U.S.A. is in the way of a lot of folks who crave to get their hands on the Cradle of Civilization that is anything but a civil place to live.
My money is on the Nobel Peace Prize Winner/Pretender who sits enthroned in Washington. He will turn this farce of a crossed Red Line into a brokered Peace that will last for, oh, about 3 1/2 years which is just about enough time to finish wrecking our economy. Hmmmm.....an interesting number. Any guesses where it might have originated?
