<A founding member of the elite counter-terrorist unit, Delta Force, suggested that President Bush's invasion of Iraq may have started World War III, according to the Los Angeles Daily News...> A nephew of mine, while watching the attack on the Twin Towers, told me that he was watching the beginning of WWIII. I thought that was quite possible. First the war, then the avian flu. Bring on 1918 again, albeit 10 years earlier in the century perhaps and perhaps with a LOT more mortality from both war and flu. And, it might not just be Moslems versus the rest of the world. As with WWI, there are other scores to be settled and opportunistic attacks to be made with unknown outcomes. While the USA is busy with Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Syria, and Russia is dealing with Chechnya and other Islamic Jihad in the south, China might decide to repossess Taiwan which will induce Japan and USA to resist that and Japan might sort out some territories needing recovery and maybe Tibet could be liberated and Germans might start marching some more to reassert their historical megalomania and Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan and don't forget civil war in Nigeria and split Islamic/other African states and general carnage during economic collapse. No end of history in sight yet. But I think it'll all fizzle out with a mess in Iraq and bits and pieces of barbarity elsewhere for a while. Though there are a lot of young males around the world without much useful to do and not much incentive to do it. Mqurice
