I really think it all will just come crumbling down around them. We won't see a large scale military invasion of the US because no one wants to "wake the sleeping beast" like the Japanese said during WW2. The American publics' hearts aren't entirely on this "war on terror", they're more just concerned for their fellow American's lives and coming home safely then the "cause". The rest of the world knows that our leaders are FOS (full of..eeyeah
) and that not many actually
want to fight except the people who don't do the fighting.
Sort of like the wizard of OZ, we're going to see the curtain draw back and discover who's really been pulling the strings & why. The current financial situation is good indication that the snafu they've all got themselves in is about to be spill out onto the streets.
But yeah people need to wake up or they'll get entranced into wanting to fight each other over anything.
