It’s nice the see the old conspiracy theories haven’t quite gone the way of the dodo. When looking at world events is pays to keep two things in mind. First never ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence. Second, people really aren’t as smart as they think they are because they don’t know what they don’t know.

Look at the current empty suit in the White House. He presumed that much of the evil in the Middle East was due to hatred of the West, the US in particular. So he did his little abasement tour first thing and has come to find out that most power players in the region don’t give a rip about misplaced US guilt. Much like their counterparts here, political leaders over there only care about power; either obtaining it or increasing it.

Not that this couldn’t lead to a worldwide conflict. A study of the previous world conflicts, indeed any modern war, shows that nations stumble into it, or at least harbor unrealistic assumptions about how it will all turn out.

Like most people drawn to this lifestyle I’m a bit of a paranoiac. Probably comes from having grown up on military bases during the Cold War. One must be careful, however, to use reason and not emotion when trying to forecast the future. We don’t want to make the same mistakes as our so-called leaders, do we?
