The next war

As we have a weekend available,what are our many intelligent posters opinions on the continuing war plans of the US/Russia alliance.....yes 'alliance'...I could throw in UK,Australia,et al.Iraq appears in the gunsights,but this is only the beginning of the new world order.I will not go on with rhetoric,but is all this for political expedience[staying in office],money grab,or what.Any takers?Yes,this is market relevant.
