We live in interesting times.

I find myself wondering if we're on the verge of a real war on terror. We've seen America and Britain go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq because someone blew up some Americans. We blew up a lot of Afghans and Iraqis so someone blew up a lot of Spaniards in Madrid. Now we have terrorists blowing up people in Britain and Iraq but they are apparently the same terrorists.

Do we face a future of random terrorists blowing people up all over the world for reasons they can no longer articulate while our once liberal democracies tear themselves appart looking for the perpetrators.

But don't listen to me. I know nothing.
