A Terrible State of Chassis

Can't help but think of the Groucho line, "Hey you big bully, stop beating up on that little bully," as I read the news about Israel in a war (at what point do hostilities become war?) on two fronts. Of course, it's often hard to tell who is the big bully and who is the little bully. The saddest part is based on all the brilliant diplomatic decisions they've made so far, it's hard to assume what BushCo does in response will be the right thing.

Oy.

Of course, there's also the civil war we so kindly left in the open Iraqi box, who knows where the train bombings in India will take the distrustful nuclear neighbors of India and Pakistan, Iran and North Korea flex their nuclear muscles in their own unique ways....it's easy to imagine a World War III which isn't side v. side but all v. all.
