I figure Putin will invade Georgia in the spring. The funny moment will be when Obama tells both sides to step back.

Other than that, I'm only really worried about Iran and Israel.

A long shot, China tries to invade Taiwan because they think Obama will let them. (Which might be correct)

Another long shot, a war in South America. Commies against capitalists. Should be interesting especially considering our political betters will be on the side of the commies.

Veeshir,

We are so totally screwed.

I will have only one minor consolation and that is I can tell my D mother: I told you so.

A very faint consolation indeed.

Obama has not and will not now understand that peace is
quite dependent on the big stick. His job is just starting, not finished!

Hugh,

I could remove the second one but I think your point is worth making twice.

Hmm, now that I think about it, Pak/India is another decent prospect.

The Himalayas should protect the rest of Asia from the fallout, but hundreds of millions dead would be pretty farging ugly.

Not to burst the bubble of your argument, but Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Prize for bringing about a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, not "Israel and the Palestinians".

Carter brokered a deal that benefited both countries and cemented Egypt as a US ally in the region, ending the series of wars that erupted between Egypt and Israel for 30 years prior to the agreement.

I am no fan of Jimmy Carter, or of his foreign policy, but he did deserve his Nobel Prize, back when the Nobel Prize actually meant something.
