Where will we be in twenty years?

What I hate about the whole Democratic Peace Theory is that it will almost insure that in 50 or 60 years, Bush will be revered as some sort of visionary just like the once despised Harry Truman. Perhaps the hysteria resulting from MAD to MAS with "Star Wars", we will create a Cold War II and Russia (with China's help) can start to make everyone believe that the world could use a little more socialism instead of a lot more capitalism!

If only it were that simple. The unpredictability of the Islamic states would make the world during Cold War II far less stable than during Cold War I. As soon as the "Star Wars" system is operational in the 27 or so countries we will share the technology with, Iran will likely be allowed to enrich uranium all it wants. If not allowed, there will still be a major incentive for countries to make secret alliances with non-state members or terrorist groups and create a system to deliver tactical nuclear attacks (suit-case nukes) if they think it necessary. So, there will no longer be any worry about somebody pushing the big red button, it will be somebody carrying a suitcase! The hysteria will build, privacy rights of Americans will be violated to an even further extreme all until World War III breaks out and destroys everybody without a bunker and a 10 years supply of canned food! Woohoo!
