Via Memeorandum, this little bit of unsettling news is a reminder that big trouble could be around the corner.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham sounds a bit warlike here. He seems to be saying that the victorious conservatives could be in a warlike mood regarding Iran. The feeling toward China doesn't seem encouraging either.
How can you assess the probability of war in the near future? My own opinion is that there is little mood for new military adventures with two conflicts already brewing in the Mideast. Also, this President got elected because the people were already tired of the war in Iraq. This could be a type of good-cop bad-cop scenario taking place. The Congress can get bellicose, but the President can be more dovish. It will tend to cancel out. The wildcard is these two countries. If things go too far, a divided government can quickly become united. If the situation is seen as an opportunity to exploit, there may be a possibility of miscalculation. In that case, there could be a big problem indeed. But I prefer to be optimistic.

Lindsay Graham is not a girl. Huffie Post people say he is. Are they homomphobes? No, just hypocrites.
