How many Nations will we be going to war with altogether?
Let's see, we have two on already in Iraq and Afghanistan, pretty soon now we'll have boots on the ground in Lebanon and Syria to seek out the Hezbollah, who are also apparently in Iran, that's five so far.

North Korea would make it six, and I suppose Russia and China would be drawn in somehow given the neo con's history, that's eight, it starts to look like some weird military board game.

Include Israel and Palestine in the struggles and you have ten, ten nations to tame.

Not to mention various other "rogue states", Cuba, Venezuela, that would make it an even dozen! You could call that a world war I suppose, Newt already calls it WW 3.

Didn't we recently piss off Germany?

3. As many as needed
to help suppress our own population and keep the factories of the military-industrial complex fired up.

6. At that point you have WW III only this time the US will be the dark side
Once you draw all those nations against the US, then Newt and all the republican pundits will have their so desired world war 3.

7. And they say the crazies are in the institutions.... my bet is
that more are on the outside (and in government) than are on the inside. (Grammatical errors noted)

8. World War One started with two countries in August of 1914 and ended
up with (I think) 138 countries (a lot not on European soil) by the end of 1918. Things can get out of control when money and military are involved.
