Insanity: State of Emergency Decree



Subject: Insanity: State of Emergency Decreed in Burma

Its bloody insane! Should we thank the French for this? And other
investors? This is what happens when recognise power in the hands of
idiots. With the World Bank, IMF, and UN there. It's totally insane.

I take it back, maybe Thailand is preparing for war. Border skirmishes
do not make a war. Examples, Hong Kong, Dmz Korea, and countless other
cases. But artillery? When do skirmishes make declared war? Is there a
time limit? This isnt even proxy war. Its direct between principles. Or
is it? Could it be a showdown testing the wills of the superpowers?
Because, in the world of superpowers, they are the ultimate masters of
world order. May we be seeing now the beginning of the end. History has
taught us that anything is possible, and we simply do not know what we
do not control. And if its out of control....

To think that all it took was Johnny Rebel and his band of brave
musicians to start a war!!!
