The Strongman

Yesterday I talked about the possibility of civil war in Iraq and the emergence of the Strongman. If he isn't hanged, his name could be Saddam Hussein. But whoever he is (and,ladies, take note,it will be a man and it will be back to the burqa for you) he will suddenly "find" (dig up/go get/buy back) those weapons of mass destruction that "don't exist," and bomb, gas,and/or infect all his political enemies (and thousands of innocent bystanders). The United Nations will sit on their thumbs and say, "Naughty, naughty," and ask the United States for more money with which to do nothing. The French and Germans will continue to be smug, and the Russians and Chinese will continue to plot the conquest of the world.
