Reminder....World War Three.
Do you remember right after 9/11 the stories of the little boy(s) who "predicted" the towers crumbling? One was a pakistani kid in NY who supposedly pointed at the towers and mentioned that they wouldn't be there next week...... and there was another, I think, in Houston....I think he was the one who told his teacher something like...." WW 3 starts tomorrow....America will lose."

Those words have been ringing in my head lately.

1. World War III was the Cold War
This is World War IV.

2. Not true.
That's a republican meme, designed to honor st ronnie as the victor in the third world war.

It was no more a world war than the conflicts between england and france in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The cold war was simply that - a confrontation between two superpowers on economic and technologic battlegrounds that occassionally spilled over into hot little brushfire wars fought by proxies.

It's a way of saying that the vietnam war wasn't a war we lost but a battle we lost of a war that we won.

It's republican historical revisionism. IOW, bullshit.

3. Well, that's what the BushCo/neoCON regime is prepared to incite.
They are ready and willing to defraud this country into a world conflict. They are prepared to profit off the blood and treasure of Americans in order to pursue global power.

The intuition of kids may well prove to be true.
