#1 I know others here disagree, but it would seem like MMA is getting a bit of the Juche-courage in their rants. They shouldn't make threats they can't deliver on, especially if they're jugged or dead. I wouldn't be surprised to see a purge of their backers in the ISI and army if Perv wants to stay in power

#2 When I read about things like the instability in Pakistan, Iran near having nukes, China and Russia still far from "democratic-market economy-stable-societies", continueing problems in Afghanistan and Iraq, etc.... I think about the beginnings of the 20th, 19th, and if memory serves, the 18th century. They all started with brushfire wars that eventually became full blown "forrest fire" wars that shook Western Civilization to its roots, and usually during the first two decades. And with each century more of the rest of the globe has been drawn into the flames. And that today the potential flames include those of the atom.
Just my pessimistic side thinking out loud.
