Outstanding article.
I feel like some must have felt in 1939. The dangers are obvious, the villains easy to see. Yet, most of the world is consumed with ignoring the gathering storm in order to live for the moment.
I often ask my liberal friends, those that still talk to me anyway, what they think the world will be like in 5 years.
Almost without exception, they assume it will be largely like it is now. They nearly all expect that their goals, universal health care, gay marriage etc. will have come to pass or will be in progress.
I take that time to remind them that in 5 years, Iran will have numerous atomic weapons and, true to their stated intentions, will almost certainly have instigated a war in the middle east. Israel may have been nuked, perhaps by multiple weapons, and the retaliation is likely to be astounding. The US cannot sit out such an event and will likely be drawn into the conflict. I also remind them that al Quieda will almost certainly have struck us again, and that the causalities may run into the hundreds of thousands if they succeed. Parts of the US may be rendered uninhabitable due to nuclear or bio-weapons. Europe will decide to sit out any such conflict in order to appease their vocal and growing Muslim populations.
I ask them, under what circumstances do they think it might possibly be different, and the informed ones will always admit that, yeah, all of these events are in fact likely to occur.
Does it faze them in the least?
Nope.
I'm afraid we are doomed to repeat WW2, but on a much more grand scale.
And the sad thing is, knowing that events such as what we see today have only one logical outcome and the Left still refuses to accept it, dooms us to repeat them.
What fools.

http://www.knewshound.blogspot.com/Israel may have been nuked, perhaps by multiple weapons, and the retaliation is likely to be astounding.I am almost certain that I read somewhere that Israel has enough nuclear weapons in its arsenal that can be deployed immediately and that the power of this arsenal would be enough to destroy every country in the Middle East.
Is this correct? Does anyone know? Well, it's unlikely that anyone outside the Israeli government knows for sure, but has anyone else run across this assessment, and if so, do you remember the source?
