Lately the world unrest has really had me very concerned. I hadn’t, until [today](http://digg.com/world_news/Newt_Gingrich_Says_It_s_World_War_III) heard anyone else liken all the unrest to “World War III”. But think about it for a minute.
– the conflict around Israel is more violent that I can recall.
– North Korea is lobbing around ICBMs like they’re hackie-sacks
– The US’s attack on the middle east (No I don’t agree with the convenient “war on terror” crap. It’s just an excuse that the fear-bound US populace will bite on.)
The potential for this all to explode beyond reason is floating in the air. I just hope that those who have the power and ability to avoid something this horrific are sharing my fears. For what it’s worth, I doubt Dubya is. 🙁

According to the neocons, we’re already several years into WW4: http://www.commentarymagazine.com/podhoretz.htm

I have a horrible feeling that they might be right. Ethiopia invaded Somalia today — no doubt bolstered by the little fact that Israel is getting away with it’s invasion of Lebanon without any penalty from the UN.P
