The situation as it stands. We are still engaged in a War with Iraq. Troops are still stationed in Iraq. Violence is still occuring. Largest loss of British life since the begining of the war occured when a hercules went down shortly after taking off from the bhagdad airport. Believed to be shot down by an anti-tank missile… apparently the missile didn’t know the plane wasn’t a tank.. sorry just kidding..<\/p>\n
Seymour Hershe wrote an expose` on our Pentagon’s plans for invading Iran. I first saw this on the Daily show and i overheard this morning that the belief is that Israel will start the war with Iran. <\/p>\n
Some background just so you know, iran is the country bordered by both Iraq and Afghanistan. From a militaristic point of view we could use pincer tactics to invade iran. This is of course assuming we had the troop numbers, which i’m not sure we do, but i’m not a military leader.<\/p>\n
What does this mean? Can i dare utter the words World War Three? Does this not scare the shit out everyone? <\/p>\n
World War One: Death of a leader sent the world to war.
\nWorld War Two: Wrapping up what the end of WWI started.
\nWorld War Three: Religious entanglements and a reinaction of the Crusades.
\n Israel bombs Iran. Iran Counters. The western world is pulled into a war of religious fundamentality.<\/p>\n
What does this mean for me?<\/p>\n
I move to New York at the end of the year. For better or worse, this is the way things are.<\/p>\n
options facing me:
\n– Fight and die for a country that does things i do not believe in.
\n– Flee the country before a draft is called to support this religious war.
\n– Hide inside the country till the draft is enacted and then make the choice then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
