You know, it sometimes seems that Al-Qaeda and other Islamic militants really want to precipitate a complete war of cultures.
Ramp it up a bit more....and watch retaliatory pogroms in Western countries, why don't you? A total war with Islam doesn't bear thinking about, but just in case it seems some folk think that the Western powers are complete namby-pambies, this piece of scary lunacy was posted on my friends page by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Bah. Stupid is as stupid does. We can barely keep our lunatics from running the asylum and the Islamic lunatics keep pushing with outrage after outrage. Just think what will happen when Sarah Palin is President? I mean, give the US a reason to elect her, then give her an excuse to go over the top: go on, why don't you?
I despair of humans of all kinds sometimes. So little thought, so many grievances.

Germany did indeed fear communism: and also the major industrialists and rump of the Prussian old guard thought they could control the party they had built around their Charlie Chaplin manque, and even control him.
I may actually agree with you, but some dark recess of the mind keeps nagging at me, telling me: the odds against 'it' (worst case scenario) happening are small, but still, given the nature of the populace, to a great extent random.
