Hmmmm, You Don’t Think…

This morning, on hearing the news, I was reminded of an article linked to – I believe – by Instapundit, for a fairly reputable source that said the Middle Eastern Roadmap, the “bring it on” campaign, and a couple of other efforts were not as they seemed. In essence, they were a part of a broader, less public effort aimed at ridding the world of a lot of troublemakers at once. As a part of this, there were a lot of things going on in the background and not being reported.

The more I have thought about it, the more I wonder. We now have outside groups operating in Iraq, more and more openly. This is bringing state-sponsored terrorism out into the open, meaning that the countries behind them are being exposed. We have terrorist groups making themselves into very large targets, and clearly identifying their members and leaders. There are other things afoot as well, that also point towards things coming to a head soon.

I find it interesting that Syria will soon take over the presidency of the UN Security Council, and even more so today that so many are pointing out the apparent ties to the UN bombing yesterday of Syria.

So, do you think that maybe in September or so, we might just see:

Certain organizations not merely identified, but potentially eliminated?

The UN given a choice on being a productive organization doing real good in the world, or continuing on as a supporter and collaborator with some of the worst regimes in the world without the membership of certain key nations?

The Palestinian Authority facing an ultimatum of either doing what they say or being eliminated or – worse yet from their point of view – set aside and ignored?

Syria, Iran, and other countries having proof of their activities in terrorism not just exposed, but being held to ultimate account?

A heck of a lot of bad people being eliminated?

Certain other countries being exposed for their support not merely of despots, but of aiding those despots with efforts to produce weapons of mass destruction?

Interesting. There are a lot of loose threads out there that may be connected. If so, the next few months may not merely be interesting, but could well decide the course of the world for the next century or so. I know how I want it to go, how about you?

Interesting times indeed, 'Wolf.

And I'm with you. It wouldn't break my heart to see even a third of the things you mentioned come to pass. I know I'm going to continue watching world events with a critical eye.
