frustratedpilotYou want to talk about weird coincidences? On the Kenzerco game company boards, I was in the middle of concocting a Knights of the Dinner Table story wherein the characters are playing a game scenerio...the premise being how WW3 starts with the attempted capture of Osama Bin Laden and the assassination (by NPCs) of the Pakistani Prime Minister. I'd started this weeks ago.
I just related that nightmare scenerio to my parents...mentioning my opinion that if the Iranian government--or elements thereof--claimed (or was proved) to have been responsible for the death of Benezir Bhutto, the U.S. and Russia would be morally obliged to declare war on each other due to mutual defense treaties. So Bhutto would become our generation's Archduke Ferdinand.
The fuse is burning toward the powderkeg.

Meanwhile another war has been ongoing. Proof that no matter how fanatic I'd be about any subject, there is always somebody far more fervent and energetic about it.
