And the chess match that ensued over the Cuban Missile Crisis. I really didn't realize that we were hours from a nuclear exchange. Had Kennedy listened to the military, most of us might not be here right now.
Now I see a justifiably angry United States and President, but I also see a huge chess match being played by what I believe to be a bunch of rich Arabs who possibly want to take us down many notches on the worldwide ladder.
I fear that we are walking into a huge trap if we engage in Afghanistan. I have no doubt that we will fare better in combat than the Russians did there, but I'm certain that as soon as we attack, most of the Muslim world will join on the side of the Afghans.
We'll see countries like Pakistan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia all join on Afghanistan's side. I think Pakistan is a trap to get us built up militarily in there, and then attack us.
We only need 1 country with nuclear capabilities to join "their side" and this gets really ugly fast.
Maybe I shouldn't be watching nuke theat movies at this time.
