One of my favorite westerns is "Tombstone". Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, The Clanton Gang...the OK Corral. If you've never seen it, then this analogy
will be lost on you... I suggest you watch it.
Remember the scene at the OK Corral, Val Kilmer and Kurt Russell are looking at The Cowboys/Clanton Gang... watching, wondering who will make the
first move? For weeks, the macho-in your face antics had been spiraling out of control. everybody "was gonna prove something"...or "I'll show
you."
Everyone has their hand on the pistols, shotguns at the ready, horses kicking with anticipation, sweat dripping from the weathered brow...then, Doc
Holliday winks and smiles at one of the Cowboys. What followed was a brief, helter skelter, pistol smoking mess.
Is'nt this where we are in the world today? The US is looking at Iran and Korea. Korea is looking at the US and Iran and China. China is looking at
the US. Iran and Syria are looking at Israel, and Israel is looking back, and just over their shoulder, Russia is looking at Georgia. Who's gonna
draw and take the first shot?
Long story short, who, if anyone, will be fighting a new war in the next 90 days? Please back your statements as this is an attempt to see where the
next flashpoint will likely be.
