A couple of days ago, I wrote about watching a horse-drawn carriage in which my children are riding. Alas, the horses have been stung by something and have gone bananas. They are careening towards a precipice. Is there nothing that can stop them, no horse whisperer who can soothe them and halt their flight?
You may think I’m too pessimistic. After all, things have looked bad in the past, too, but humankind always survived.
And it it is indeed true that WWI was not the end of the world, it only killed around 15–22 million. Even WWII was not the end of the world (“70–85 million people perished, or about 3% of the estimated global population”). We didn’t have the bomb yet, except at the very end, and of course then we used it.
I’m not into wars, but it seems to me that WWI was an utterly senseless affair, pointless and basically unnecessary. WWII, however, was a different matter: The Nazis’ policies regarding what they considered the “untermensch”, and their determination to realise said policies, could simply not be allowed to prevail.
My reading is that Israel’s policies regarding non-Jews and their determination to realise said policies … I say no more.
Only the USA can stop the Israelis now. Will the USA stop the Israelis?
Listen to US Colonel Wilkerson here.He knows a thing or two, is a good talker, and he has a sense of humour too. “Fortunately …,” he said, among other things, “the mood is changing.” He meant the mood among the constituents, not the mood in Congress, yet.
Let’s hope that the “mood” will prevent WWIII.
