This will be an long war. Doubtful it will be unending, which is where you and I part company. Elites cannot sustain overlong engagements of anything, especially elites who themselves are in the throes of a slow-motion revolution. The prophet of the 21st century turned out to be Vilfredo Pareto, not Toffler.
Also, there may be no enemies to create, much less fight once this comes to a stopping point.
My favorite line that comes to mind from all this is from the Belgian Troskyist Ernest Mandel, who in 1989 quipped "What do you get after Late Capitalism? More Captialism!" The West may sleep, but Leninism, like its father, is very definately in a tomb.
In the vein of your "creating enemies" tangent ... one thing I found interesting was the way that, in addition to restoring the Holy Gates which weren't wide enough for Stalin's tanks and rebuilding the blue church, Christ is in a "face-off" of sorts with Lenin ... his image like an icon above the Holy Gate of GUM.
We'll see who's sleeping. (I'll flag you on a post that's in the hopper yet which you might find interesting.) Regards.
Aha, another of the 'the US deserved what happenned at the WTC crowd (or is it another of the 'OBL is working for us' Tin-foil hat crowd).
