With the world economy going haywire, the Iran situation, the Israeli middle east situation, the social disturbances all across america including last summers gang activities in the cities and now the occupy wall street movement(if it is a movement). And so much more like the breakup of Pakistan and the question of their nuclear weapons. I get the feeling that were headed into something big in the not too far future. What do you think and/or feel about it?
I just see a relatively boring presidential campaign ahead. Call it "Obama and the 7 dwarfs."
The Middle East has been unstable for thousands of years. This is nothing new.
Not in a nuclear age when the radical Islamic Muslims have nuclear weapons.
The fact that all these countries, all at the same time, are going through a regime change towards more radical Islam is no coincidence ... also the fact that the world markets and economies are collapsing and regime change in the EU and America is no coincidence. Anyone who thinks its is ... is either an idiot or complacent.

What is this "regime change" in the EU you're on about?
Yes, that's why I'm thankful I'm sequestered on my farm right now and have solar power and a windmill and our own well. We were planning to return to our home in Jerusalem but I don't think that's going to happen for a long time now.
Greece and Italy...ex bankers are now running the countries.
That counts as "regime change in the EU"? If Italy changing governments is a harbinger of great change, we are indeed living in tumultuous times - what with the country having had 60+ governments since WWII.

Just go on about your business. You have missed the significance of these changes in government.
Does "President Bernake" have a nice ring to it ?
No. The "big thing" was September 11th, which was 10 years ago, and was the defining "big event" of the early 21st century, leading to two large scale wars, which are now winding down.
We are now entering a global era of relative stability that will last about 60 years....the next "big thing" will probably be World War III on European soil and which will involve China and North Korea. And even though the seeds are being planted now, the event will not happen until later this century. Right now everyone is simply focused on getting out of the recession and when that is over, everyone will focus on making money until the next economic down cycle, which will occur in about 50-60 years, which will lead to a bloody global conflict.
An era of relative stability? Anyone can see that we are entering a period of relative instability. WW3 isn't 60 years off and will not be fought on European soil. It will be fought in the middle east and asia as far as the orient and we will probably see Israel taking and recieving a few nukes. Very possibly the end of Israel.
