Ultimately I have to disagree that MAD policy works with Islamofascists who welcome death. That is illogical, Captain.

AFA the rank and file goes, you are correct. However, something tells me that the higher-ups have probably gotten where they are by taking care of Numero-Uno so they may be a little bit less enthused about giving up the fleeting earthly wealth and power they have amassed in exchange for glorious eternal paradise.

I actually consider WW2 as the only true world war in modern history. Sure the others had Africa involved but those were strictly sideshows.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Ah. A contrarian point of view. (From Windy, no less ;) )

You make an interesting point.

From a truly global perspective WWII might have been the first. But I would consider the Cold War to fit into that category. While not a hot war, it was global and included hot elements.

lets be a little realistic here Gus.
the Arab masses may believe in the Koran.
the Arab leaders believe in power and they like to maintain it.
therefore MAD actually still works.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I will be honest with you...I don't know what the Arab leaders believe in.

Iranians are Persians, not Arabs.

Their system of government is a theocracy.

Yeah that is what I meant with my last post above too. Call a Persian an Arab and be ready to fight. They find that very insulting. Which is racist in its own right, but a tangent here.

Gus remarked that WWIII may be kicking of with Syria.

Personally I think we passed WWIII a long time ago and we're on five or six depending on how we count. To wit:

WWV - African Conflict(s) of the 1990s

Thoughts? Have I left anything out? Included too much?

The Second Congo War should probably be a stand-alone, and take the lead in that title, with the other conflicts playing supporting roles (like the Sino-Japanese 37-41, Spanish Civil and Italo-Ethiopian Wars played to WWII).

tl : dr - Eight nations, 25 armed groups (160k 'troops' under arms) and 5.4 million casualties is a laugh riot that can't be ignored.
