Has World War Three Already Begun?
7/29/2006 8:05:04 AM
Certain pundits are saying World War Three has begun.
Some claim it began on 9/11. Others believe is actually started in the early nineteen eighties. That’s when 241 Marines lost their lives in the truck bombing of their barracks in Beruit. And some say it goes even further back to the taking of hostages at the American embassy in Iran back in 1979.
Whatever date future historians finally settle on, we are at war with radical Islamic fundamentalists.
It’s the extremists and radicals who usually cause the world’s problems. It was the Nazis and Japanese militarists who instigated World War Two.
Now we’ve got these crazies using religious fanaticism to promote their own ends. Many practitioners of Islam have felt humiliated by western powers. That comes from economic and colonial domination by Western powers for several hundred years. With that emotion so deep set in the Islamic psyche it doesn’t take much prodding by manipulative leaders to turn those feelings into hate. Mix in religious fervor and intolerance of nonbelievers (like Christians and Jews) and you’ve got a potent brew.
Then there is Israel, long a festering sore in the Islamic craw. Since Israel’s founding, every time the Arabs tried to defeat the Jewish nation by conventional means the Israelis kicked their ass. That’s added to radical Islam’s hatred of Israel and America. Radical Islamists have resorted to guerilla and terror tactics. That’s what’s been happening to us since we took over Iraq. Now it’s happening to the Israelis, too. Strong as our armies are, we have a tough time combating insurgencies and terror.
Funding these terror operations is Middle Eastern oil. The radical government of Iran supports Hezbollah to the tune of $100 million a year. Elements of the Saudi Royal family allegedly finance the operations of Al Queda.
What everyone in the West fears is the Islamist’s access to nuclear weapons. Pakistan has had nuclear capability for years. Iran is trying to develop it. Some feel that Al Queda may have obtained a small nuke through the Russian mob.
All that’s now needed is a nuclear event. That could touch off worldwide hostilities.
