sooner or later, human society and or the planet’s ecology is going to be broken if responsible mangement of this army is not achieved. since no one has even suggested something should be done, catastrophe is likely.

indeed, events in the middle east may well be that catastrophe, just getting warmed up.

As the post indicates, the link is to the Open Democracy website and all the quotations are from there. Well, thanks, Robert, but they’re not our writers nor are they Australian.

All well thought out, well expressed and plausible. It stands out that your writers are far more aware of prospects in Iraq than many Americans and surprisingly interested in US foreign policy in particular. Is it that Mr. Bush's Iraq war is so bizarre or do Australians generally have an interest in the world view? Such thinkers and writers are always welcome on my website, TheWeekInCongress.com. Best New Year wishes. I couldn’t find one prediction that I could disagree with. All well thought out, well expressed and plausible.
