President Bush has committed us to preemptive war. At the moment I feel, as a British Historian did last night on TV, as if the nation is now jumping out of an airplane and we are all waiting for the parachute to open. Lets hope it does.
"This is terra incognito" said Simon Schama the historian. He is afraid that there will be extreme religious fervor excited in mideast Moslems against all things western. But the die is now cast.
I think we are actually on the brink of two wars, which we have bearly considered. One against Iraq and the other N. Korea. N. Korea has locked unto our airplanes. Fire missles towards Japan and done other hostile acts just this month. It is said they probably have at least one or two nuclear weapons and means to reach our western states with one new one being produced every month. Bush may think that it is ok to loose california since they don't support the GOP anyway. But N. Korea is a serious foe.
Due to our preemptive stragegy for the first time in our history we may condemn an ally, totally without its consent, the S. Koreans, to at least a million dead.
Simon Schama expects the the Iranians religous authorities to possibly use this opportunity to inflame all of Iran due to our close proximity to Iran. It is not a stretch to also see this opening up the possibility of yet a third war with Iran..as Bush has included them on the axis of evil. Some in our military say that Iran is next.
In these mad times, lets hope that God be with us.
