I guess there's no stopping it...

Yep, it looks like we (the US) are going to war with Iraq. I knew this dreaded day would come, and I've felt this way ever since before the 9/11 attacks. In a way, I called this sort of outcome the "second fall of Rome". Look at it this way: the US is the modern-day world power, just as Rome was in its days. It fell because of its own arrogance and lack of respect for other worlds, hence the barbarians were able to attack them without warning. I fear that Iraq represents the barbarians in this case.

Alright, I'll admit that I'm only thinking worst-case scenario when I'm thinkng that we might face a nuclear diaster here, but hey, it can't get any worse than worst-case...

I can't exactly think about what to write right now (I'm watching Wolf Blitzer Reports right now...catch you later, feel free to post your thoughts on this, especially you US people)...
