I think it is more like 1937, after FDR won reelection. He had an economy in depression, failed socialist policies, just like Obama. Four year later we were at war.

And didn't FDR continue to *blame* his predecessor for all of his own failures? Does sound very familiar.

It is similar to both situations. And we know what happened in both cases. But this next world war will be the last fought by the generic human species. Remember what Einstein said about WWIII and WWIV. Perhaps in another million years the next dominant species will eventually be facing the same crisis. The question is will the next dominant species be sourced from mutated human DNA or perhaps mutated lizard DNA. Think it would be interesting if the radiation pouring into the sea from Fukushima causes Dolphins to develop arms and legs. They are perhaps the one species on the planet that has a chance to exit the madhouse, but hey, I am a Douglas Adams fan.
