Another Cold War?

The death and suffering in the Middle East is designed to produce influences which will ultimately be favorable to the West. The strategies are played as a game of chess. We are still in a kind of cold war, I think; two ideologies struggling to colonize the human mind. One says we are all equal; the other "unequal!". One says we are poor; the other "rich!". One says we are ancient tradition; the other "new ideas!". One says we are the conquered; the other "we conquer!" I think what we are seeing today is conquest. Hegemony is conquest. How vain. How stupid. Just as quickly and irreverently the end comes for those caught in the mix, so also great kings and nations have fallen at the moment the Lord picks.
