Nowadays most folks expect the Battle of Armageddon to take place in Armageddon – the Middle East. But I’m pretty sure Pakistan is where everything falls apart. Here’s how I see it going down:

• The government crumbles, the military goes into disarray.
• Islamic extremists get their hands on a nuke.
• A video of the extremists – maybe even Bin Laden – holding their nuclear treasure is released
• World stock markets go into a tailspin, triggering global depression
• All military forces from the U.S., Europe, Australia, etc., are sent to the region to find the bomb
• As the western forces close in, the militants ignite the bomb
• Thousands of soldiers are killed
• The military vacuum triggers worldwide chaos: North Korea invades South Korea (since all U.S. troops in the DMZ were sent to Pakistan); India uses the chaos as a pretense to take Kashmir; Iran and Syria attack Israel; Russia invades Afghanistan; Iraq descends into anarchy

Now I’m starting to think it’s the lassiez faire capitalists (like me) who are the naive ones. We thought a rising tide would float all boats. In fact, everything is sinking.

This blog is starting to feel like a will.
