Major economic powers hoarding oil? Sounds like war to me. Repeating myself I am but I keep remembering how a couple of years ago being ridiculed was the norm anytime I argued that the logic of the dynamics told me it was more likely than not that there'd be a military confrontation over Iran's nuke program - I still don't understand what it was made so many supposedly smart people resistant to a reasonable and objective appreciation of things. I've said it before and maybe it's true: I think liberals actually believed Obama - it's so idiotically absurd it's hard to imagine ostensibly bright people being this stupid - but I think they actually believed Obama's ascension to the throne signalled the ushering in of a new world order and they weren't about to let Iran spoil the prettiness of it all - these people sincerely thought it seems that war was a crudity that could only happen to unenlightened bumpkins like Bush. This almost willful embrace of naivety truly does confound me, I can't empathize with it at all - it's an outlook more in keeping with the delusional fantasies of love - and I suppose that's it because, really, what better explains the sad folly of these people than the besotted dementia of a romantic fixation?
