This is a world of Uh Oh, I have mixed feelings. I think we just bought a world war, but we sort of knew we were buying it when we attacked Libya. (That would be a few weeks ago when I said "Oh look, someone went and started a world war.")

So, it's not a stunning development (Remember I said there'd be another revolution in 6 months: Think Suleiman is thinking "How do I not get thrown out on my ass in 6 months") I figure it happens either way: Now we go in and try to overthrow him, failing that, we sponsor some neighbor to invade.

Who's got the popcorn?

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

That'd be why most people don't start multi-national conflicts, which is what we seem to call World Wars these days, because we gots ourselves a thesaurus.
