A "War" Thought....



http://a2200fcd.ultrafiles.net/
Today is Armistice Day(Veterans Day). It was on November 11, 1918 when the Allied Forces and Germany declared the end of "the war to end all wars" so to speak. I guess everyone thought then that World War I, of which officially had ended on Armistice Day, would be the last and biggest war the modern world would have ever had but then World War II happened that lasted from 1939 to 1945, a much more devastating war with huge losses of lives. And then onwards, wars such as those in Vietnam and the more recent Gulf Wars mottled the World History annals like stains on pristine white paper. Smaller in scope but destructive nonetheless. <tsk><tsks>

As most of the western part of the world celebrate Armistice Day today, I get to thinking what other "wars" would there be up coming for us in the future.

Just a thought...
