What "Mission Accomplished" in reality achieved was an intractable quagmire of bloodletting and a nightmarish prospect of global conflict. And it may have started in Iraq.

Quite a frightening future I must say.

Many good points in this article. I don't think there are any real exit strategies at this point though. My domerosity level was falling around christmas, but is now at an all time high. When the oil goes for 200$ per barrel, I am moving far into the countryside.

If the US economy goes down, there will be havoc in the Middle-East and I think sustained 380$ will be passed quite easily if Saudi Arabia falls into anarchy.

Good find Jacques.

This is why I'm so interested in Geopolitics. The next few decades are going to be so interesting.

Never mind the next few decades, the next few months will likely seem many critical events.

Dear producers of Current Events.
Wow, I'm really in love with your show. It's The ultimate reality entertainment to follow, Jackass is nothing compared to this shit.
This preliminary buildup of early seasons is so promising, I'm so anticipating the unfolding of all the storylines, the constant drama, grand-scale warfare, cunning deception, desperation before death, proud men standing their ground, the hope of evolution of mankind shining in the horizon. With neat techno-goggles and internet. No generation before us has and none after us will go trough a shockride of similar scale. If I stay alive over 70, what kind of stories I will have to tell...
(note to myself: Remember to buy some souvenirs for grandchildren)

My favourite spots are ther surprise visits from Osama! Darn, when will they catch him! And I love product placement spotting. But you could add some hot romance, maybe once Hillary gets to be president, she could have an affair with Condo?

I wonder if my clan will suck. But then again, I might get popular and end up giving autographs. I think I'll like giving autographs.
