It's 1939 again, folks. A war by a very big country on a very small one, in a world that is coming apart at the seams. But it's even more dangerous this time, because Hitler did not command B-52's and the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons of mass destruction in the World.

Pray for a miracle, because that is all that is going to save the ordinary Iraquis and much of the rest of the World from this gang of scoundrels in high places, not to mention you and me...quite possibly. It's going to be precious hard to find any safe refuge from this one, I think, once it overflows the cup they have prepared.

If I was Iraq, I would arm myself with anything humanly possible at this point. Anything I could get. And then I'd bow to the eternal sky or God or whatever you choose to call it, and say "We who are about to die salute you."

Good luck, everyone. If we're still alive in 5 years, I hope to shake your hand and say, "Glad you made it, friend!"
