World War III
If you were wondering why militarism and bloodshed are all over the news of late, wonder no more. It's because you're living through World War Three. According to this July 15 article by David Postman of the Seattle Times:
Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich said in the coming days he plans to speak out publicly, and to the Administration, about the need to recognize that America is in World War III. He lists wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, this week's bomb attacks in India, North Korean nuclear threats, terrorist arrests and investigations in Florida, Canada and Britain, and violence in Israel and Lebanon as evidence of World War III. He said Bush needs to deliver a speech to Congress and "connect all the dots" for Americans.
He said the reluctance to put those pieces together and see one global conflict is hurting America's interests. He said people, including some in the Bush Administration,who urge a restrained response from Israel are wrong "because they haven't crossed the bridge of realizing this is a war. This is World War III," Gingrich said. And once that's accepted, he said calls for restraint would fall away...
What's this -- a Republican disdaining obfuscation?
