Prediction: World War 3 to Start Thursday, Lunchtime.
WW3 Starts will start on Thursday for three reasons:
1. Italy won the World Cup and everyone else wanted France to win. So everyone is in a bad mood and just feels like punching on - this applies equally to states as it does to sports fans.
2. Italy won the World Cup so all the piles of out-of-date unused flares and other celebratory devices including MOABs and laser guided munitions that everyone was busting to let off with a French victory are just sitting in the garages of very disappointed and angry punters. This applies equally to states as it does to sports fans.
3. Israel and the neighbours just don't get along, this last week particularly so. Normally no one would care because that's just Middle Eastern culture at work. Though with all those Americans sick of policing Johnny terrorist in Iraq and itching to get into a good old fashioned state-on-state barney any invitation may just be too tempting.
