There are two things in the near future that makes me not so sure.
1. Kosovo - Russia almost created a nuclear war against us in the last Kosovo war. Now things are heating up again in Kosovo will we have a leader that supports Muslim terrorist again and against Russia which are also fighting the terrorist?
2. If it is McCain should someone with his temper be so close to the nuclear football?
Both your concerns are very valid.
I guess I take the view that, regardless, like our individual lives, the life of our country will go on so long as the Lord wills it so.
That’s not to say I endorse Christian Fatalism or the view that we have no responsibility to make our future better. We do. But I don’t think we have the ultimate power to ensure our total survival or our total destruction.
That’s not to say we can’t screw things up royally and cause a lot of misery with the latitude we do have.
