The World has changed a lot since the First and Second World Wars. We at least those wars WE in the present period call the WWI and WWII. You see this problematic species of humans has always had wars and we have much written recorded history to prove that. Often enough in the past they took many years or even decades to play out. And now here we are on the cusp of World War Three. The great war that perhaps prophesy had warned us about. Even Einstein had said; I do not know how WWIII will be fought, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones. This indeed is a terrible tragedy of mankind to build up civilization after civilization only to tear it down once again. Sticks and Stones may break our bones indeed, yet World leaders are going to war today over name-calling. They are using such names as; Infidel, Guerillas and Terrorists. Iran wishes to make nuclear weapons and support International terrorists against the infidels while promising to; Blow Israel Off the Map! Hamas and Hezbollah funded by Iran are attacking from the Palestine Section of Jordan and Lebanon. Israel has sent in troops, attacked bridges and power plants in Gaza and airports in Lebanon. While guerillas take kidnapped soldier to Iran. The Western World also along with the UN are trying to negotiate the stoppage of Iran building nuclear weapons and putting them on top of Chinese Missiles. Iran has bought Russian anti-aircraft batteries, built sophisticated torpedoes and is building up its army to attack. Looks like everyone is busy picking sides again; World War Three Here We Come! As bad as all this is, it will be a very short war and so many fewer casualties than previous wars. No time to bring in or train troops, it will be over in a flash, perhaps literally. Strategic targets taken out, surely some peripheral and collateral damage, but nothing like we saw in WWII and yet, one has to ask themselves; is this species ever going to grow up? Is the human race even viable? Consider all this in 2006. |
