War? No one wants war?

That seems like a crock from my vantage point.

India and Pakistan seem to be orienting their militaries for a possible conflict.
John Bolton speculated that an Obama victory would prompt an Israeli raid before Obama settled in.
There’s the Iranian nuclear program.
Then there is a sophisticated new air defense system (the S-300 air defense systems) which Iran says is on the way from Russia that makes Israel more than a little uneasy.

Of course the Russians deny this.

Pakistan is moving troops away from its frontier with Afghanistan.
This means the Taliban is free to operate out of Pakistan’s lawless regions.

Will there ever be peace in the Middle East? EVER?
Why would any of us think so since there has not been for the last 2000 years or so?

I tire of those sniveling and whining about Israel’s attack back on Hamas.
I have to wonder exactly what those same people would say living under the threat of a bomb being lobbed into their own backyard.

You can not tell me that the USA for a millisecond would stand for that kind of threat on her own soil.

Can anyone spell annihilate?

We all better hope Obama is able to hit the ground running with all of the problems on the Presidential horizon.
