It was 99 years ago this month that Europe meandered its way into the bloodiest war in its history, a world changing event whose effects have in no way died down even yet. Now watching the news and reading the sites, there is an eerie sense that events are unfolding with a logic of their own towards an outcome that cannot in any way be foretold.

Is Barack Obama the Kaiser Bill of the modern era? He is obviously clueless and unfit to be President but he’s the Commander-in-Chief and American credibility is supposedly on the line.

But with the simpletons at the helm in the US, where this might end up is anywhere.
