As I've been thinking about this, it occurs to me that by the time the
polls closed on the East coast, it was already the 8th in the Middle
East. Maybe the election results at all levels of government in the US is
the final breach in the dike that's holding back the flood. Things
certainly seem to be speeding up. And with Iraq and Afghanistan sliding
away, how much longer is nuclear-power Pakistan likely to be our 'ally'?
I expect they already offset any perceived nuclear threat from Israel
assuring the destruction of the entire region in the event of
hostilities. I sense THE DEAL is very close.
