That pisses of the US, and we see more mushrom clouds. Pakistan finally overthrows its puppet dictatorship, right wingers get hold of their very credible nkes, India shits it and faces off.

North Korea takes advantage and sees an oppurtunity to destroy South Korea, then figures it may aswell strike the U.S for its policy on it, Castro joins in and adds his two bits to the US attack, and wins as all of the US forces are actually in
other countries and no one remembered to leave any behind.

Blair makes a speech that no one listens to, the French are still smarting over their world cup defeat, the Germans are financially crippled from hosting the World Cup, and the Italians are still hungover.




actually the worst case scenario is beginning to look pretty damn good!!

I think that pretty much covers it in one -- except that Cuba has never seen the Firearms Friendly Southern US. It would not be pretty.

I think it was in the movie "Invasion USA", all we would need is Chuck Norris.

Best case scenario- cease fire.
Worst case scenario- All hell breaks loose in the middle east (which will happen if Israel doesnt stop bombing Lebanon) and we have World War 3.

Before too long, most will realize that our interference with the warring multitudes in that region will have little or no effect on peace in the middle east and that sadly, the only person who could maintain control (albeit distastefully) was pulled out of a spider hole some time ago.

Best case, the Jews learn how to play the victim again.
Worst case, the Muslims become more powerful by being the victim.

The sad truth, takes two of a kind to tango.

30 second wrap up:

Best case: Bush gets impeached

Worst case: We will change tactics and start inducing civil war within crude and natural gas line containing countries. Once most are dead and the opposition is weak, we will go in to "liberate" the people. The ultimate battle for regional control will be over Kazakhstan. We'll end up fighting China, Iran, France and what remains of Russia. Ultimately, we’ll lose. All of us.

Oh yah.. North Korea will end up setting off their Nukes (while still in N. Korea) in a desperate attempt to get more attention.

Yes, it sound like tit for tat, but the way I see it, it's more like Israel saying, "I've had it up to here!" and finally doling out a punishment.

Israelis do some crazy things too, but it's like a sane person fighting with his crazy neighbor and stooping to their level. I really do believe that. Like someone around here just said, the Jews don't do suicide bombings of mosques.

So, what's the answer? Move the Arabs out once and for all since they just can't get along?

Actually... "God" started all this. Don't you love the teachings of compassion and acceptance? More people have been killed in the name of God than Hitler could ever imagine. Really... if you ever step back and just remember what the underlying issue really was.... it's religious based. Killing in the name of......


Life feeds on life. But we're all "God's" children. Huh....

Suicide tactics are the last resort for those who have nothing to lose. Israel is not "better" than who they fight because of their tactics; Israel is the better equipped, more powerful entity. It is incumbent upon them to act responsibly. By escalating tit-for-tat they are showing themselves to be just as insane as who they are fighting. Insane means doing the same thing time and time again, expecting different results.

If they don't learn soon, there won't be anything there to fight over.

You missed one:

China sees that the U.S. is totally focked and takes advantage immediately. They launch a massive attack on Taiwan to reclaim their sovereignty of the island nation. Bush gets the news while in G-8 Summit, and repeatedly shows the same look when he got the news about the WTC on 9/11.
