So many wars - so little time

The United States is suddenly suffering from a surfeit of wars.

There are the hot wars in Iraq and Afghanistan where it is struggling to find success, John McCain's opinion notwithstanding, and to even find enough troops to man the front lines.

There is the lukewarm war with Iran that Israel and elements within the White House are undoubtedly eager to bring to the boil.

There may or may not be a proxy war against Hizbullah going on.

Russia seems on the brink of launching a new cold war over plans for installation of the son-of-Star-Wars unproven missile defence system in Eastern Europe.

And last but not least might moves by the US against China at the WTO spark a trade war of sorts? Even worse what the hell happens if they stop buying up the US debt via Treasury Bonds?

It is surely a good thing that the Decider(TM) is firmly in charge. I have great confidence that the puppet master is capable of knowing which finger pulls which string in which war. Aren't you?
