Does anyone feel we live in interesting times?

North Korea with nukes.

Iran talking smack about the Jews. (can you say "HITLER")

Iran threatning to wipe countries off the map.

China playing economic Sally with US.

Russia and China doing War Games together.

Iraq in a mess.

A Nation divided.

An enemy willing to do things in the name of a "god".

I'm not saying it is the end or anything. Just want your take on the current situation that we all have on our hands.

    Molly seems to perceive the thing correctly... the world has survived the devastating world wars... the famines and epidemics, cyclones and tsunamis .... the communism crashed in Russia and turned de facto capitalistic in China.... the developing countries are getting more expressive and confident... HIV /AIDS are already restraining the drug addicts and sex mongers to behave (in their own interests)... nature is playing its part of checks and balances...

    Prophets of doom have often sown fear and distrust in the past and continue to create confusion... not only from astrologist and numerologist groups... from economic and political schools as well...

    Self styled protectors of world peace had not cared for the endless deaths in Sri Lanka and Kashmir, nor raised a word of sympathy for the poor Tibetans, and so forth, but raised the alarm when terror broke in their own living room... the ethnic / religious perversion is felt only when it affects harmony at our home country..

    Notwithstanding all these harrowing events, the future shall still be good for the children... the present generation will be forced to learn its right lessons from nature (these are not random events that happen around - the good and bad ones) ... the will of God will save the whole world...including the foolish bullies as well as the weak and the innocent...

    I'm just amazed at how many people there are that think all of the current chaos is new.

    We have always had a truck load of drama going on, worldwide.

    It will be interesting to the generations that follow us but only about how we have sloppily handled these matters.

    Hopefully, our children will grow up and do a better job of putting an end to the rediculous.

    All we can do is wait and see. If it ever stops????

    Now THAT would be something to marvel at. It would be the first time THAT ever happened.

    The wordl's problems today, are not new. They are as old as time itself.

    Oh! About you forgetting something? That is a fantastic list you came up with. You did better than I could.

    I can only think of one, you didn't mention.

    The hurricane Katrina in New Orleans incident.

    Good grief. This happened on our own soil and the government STILL hasn't done enough to rebuild the city, so they can go home.

    I live in Dallas and we have thousands of refugees still living here, waiting desperately to go home to New Orleans.

    Wow. If we can't even help our own people, how can we help another country?

    Isn't that sad and a little bit scary? Geesh.

    Spending is overheating our debt going to our grand-children.

    Baby-boomers about to start retiring.

    Our President planning more wars.

    Israel making our policy through AIPAC and PNAC.

    Think of all the technology we have in the world today as opposed to 30 years ago.

    You tell me...isnt that interesting?

    The more the world CAN communicate, the less it DOES.

    Its all about more POWER and less communication.

    Sad but true.
