Alex's Crystal Ball Sees......Trouble.
I believe Ageism is the secret enemy of civilization.
I believe Ageism leads to different classes of respect within the same society.
Once ageism is practiced in any culture, the resulting prejudice inevitably expands to prejudicial views about other cultures.
We are going through our own ageism conflict in the U.S.. For now, Ageism has been put on the back burner. But the issue of ageism was burning brighter with each passing year in our own country, and we had failed to solve it...in fact, we were doing very little to solve the problem of Ageism.
I was confused why ageism didn't seem to apply to the terrorist attack because most of the terrorists seem to be between the ages of 30-45, a bit too old for my theory.
Now I read that in the Middle East, 65% of the population is under 18...
This is creating a new and dangerous dynamic...those in their 30's and 40's have a young and impressionable audience to entertain.
Youth has always reacted subversively to parental authority.
In a new perversion, a small group of Middle Eastern "Parents" are saying to the youth of the Middle East, "don't blame us, blame the USA".
These dysfunctional "Parents", who suddenly have figured out a position from which to create huge power and authority, have taken center stage and instead simply blame the U.S. for a world the youth do not want to inherit.
How many infiltrators are there in the Pakastani Military secretly planning gaining access to the country's nuclear weapons.
Military Rank will have little to do with problems with the Pakastani Army...
The key access points to horrible death will be "inconsequential" youths who work in the lower rungs of the Pakastani Military.
...Religious beliefs, a few men their 30's and 40's with a chance to lead a hostile youth movement, and dedicated hostile youths will have EVERYTHING to do with unforeseen destruction to the world.
America cannot defeat the will of a hostile multi-million youth halfway across the world with military intervention only.
It will take more than military intervention, and it must happen simultaneously with any military act.
Yes, about the millions of youths halfway around the world, we really will need to feel their pain, whether we are sympathetic or not to it's origin.

Walking on eggshells in Afghanistan.
Even if we harm few people, the Taliban will probably lie.

Of course they will, they seem to lie about everything else. But then again, so does every other government. They who control the media control the people that view it. If the US were to that Sept. 11 never happened and that never was a WTC, someone is going to believe them.
