There is an impending war with Iran..........
There can be no doubt that the underlying geopolitical clash of civilizations poses the most serious of problems. However, it is becoming obvious that these problems cannot be solved militarily or diplomatically. We must begin with a Second Enlightenment producing a religious perspective we can all agree on before it's to late. Hopefully a serious look at Abrahamic Eschatology will give us a start.
There is no doubt that nuclear weapons can cause our extinction and we are getting precariously close to their use. The problem is reminiscent of the Crusades as Christians and Muslims fought for century's over the Holy Land in general, and Jerusalem in particular. The Dome Of The Rock sits on the Jewish Temple Mount in Jerusalem and that place, if violated by anyone, will trigger the start of a nuclear WW III .
Religion is the key to the hair trigger that is about to push the nuclear button. Both leaders have an - END TIMES - belief that sends them to paradise as the world comes to an end. They have the military budgets and weapons to begin this literal interpretation of their holy books. In the past, MAD-mutually assured destruction-was a deterrent to nuclear war, now it's an incentive. Both leaders believe that their respective " Messianic Figure " will return to provide pure peace until judgment day.
