Not your DADDY' s WAR

World War Three
Or in the vernacular of our times WWx3. The last few days, with the middle east in turmoil, it is hard not to see this little seed growing rapidly into a cause for concern. Paranoia generally isn't one of my vices, but I have always maintained the next world war would surely be economic in nature, and with the advent of the stock market wavering and gas prices once again climbing even higher I am wondering. Wondering just how this economy, weakened by mismanagement, will continue to prop up "The American Dream" of excess. Wondering where the troops will come from if we get closer and closer to involvement in war on multiple fronts. Wondering what the name of the Israeli soldier that was kidnapped to start this whole mess is, and will it impart the chill "Archduke Ferdinand" evokes and still does in the future. Wonder when so-called "average" citizens of this country will wake up and see the long road ahead paved with their own spiritual bankruptcy and neglect.

And today wondering if it may be time to pray for peace and prepare for war.
