Kim, Oil and WW3

All the global arms manufacturers must be rubbing their hands. Since the demise of the cold war and the excuse to stockpile thousands of nuclear weapons they have always been looking for the boogeymen to justify their business of selling tools for killing.

The event with the sky scrapers, evil Saddam and the hunt for the elusive Afghan cave dweller (subsequently found a long way away from Afghanistan) has justified this global hunger for war.

Interest has been waning of late, until now, when the whole of Africa has now become a hot bed of terrorism and tyranny as a direct result of the Arab spring which ensured that weapons left the hands of dictators we knew into the hands of the lunatic fringe that we don't.

And lest should tiny North Korea feel left out here we have little Kim Jong Odd declare his complete hatred for anyone that isn't himself by stating that he is building nuclear weapons so he can fire them at the USA.

I am no left leaning pacifist and my spell in the Army showed me insights into the world that cemented my belief in arming oneself as a deterrent (ie: so that you can retaliate when some lunatic who doesn't like your way of life decides that murdering you is the best way forward) but this blatant war mongering is somewhat tiresome.

I have always maintained the world will be a happier place once the oil runs out.

And if i were Kim I would sack my barber too.
