In a few words you project a dire world situation, James. The possibility of war is already there, but I lean on the positive side since I can't see any winners...just losers. ~ Regards // paul

A dooms day scenario in your fine senryu that has sharp resonance with each passing day. If war, just conventional (I hope) but the loss of life would be tragically high. Congratulations on a thoughtful write. Brian

Thank you Brian, neo-cons want a wag-the-dog diversion war to distract from America's implosion...
