Be careful what you wish for, because it may not be exactly what you expected. Sure, doom is interesting to talk and postulate about, but have you ever really considered the reality of catastrophe and cataclysm? If the war in the Middle East escalates into a full blown conflict, many will die - to include the innocent. To think or believe that the U.S. or any of it's allies are somehow isolated from this is overly complacent and naive thinking. Just as the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in response to the U.S. non-violent and isolationist resistance (sanctions/embargoes) during WWII, so too are we vulnerable now - regardless of our active participation.

I agree that indifference to evil should never be tolerated, but violence begets violence - and when it arrives at your doorstep, will you be prepared for the horrors that accompany it?
