For some reason, I keep thinking that the steps Israel is taking in Palestine - with our blessing - could be the beginning of World War III. Unless we call the Cold War World War III - it probably was - in which case this would be World War IV. In this war, Russia, China, and the United States will be on the same side, for a change. Or maybe not. Maybe all the talking heads are just big balloons that will collapse under the slightest strain. Maybe nobody will come to rescue Arafat. Maybe everyone knows it's just a game, and I am foolish for taking it serious.

>>I see the waiter coming to the table with an inflationary tab to be paid. Japan has got food poisoning. Europe, as usual, is not real fast with the wallet. Asia ex-Japan/China/India is tapped out for the moment. Latin America is either sleeping or fainted, can never tell the difference. China/India is competing to own the restaurant. The rest of the crew are fighting over one thing or another, but not over the tab. Meanwhile, some unseen diner is planning to blow up the whole restaurant.<< Wonderful, Jay. Very entertaining analogy. I see things much the same way. The only thing I would add is Uncle Al in the kitchen, stamping out US$ with a (fortune) cookie cutter as fast as he can, which are then hurriedly baked and transported to the cash register to cover the tab. The party continues until the restaurant refuses to accept fortune cookie currency or Uncle Al gets tired of baking.
