Or maybe it's a symptom of wartime hysteria. You can either suspect we're on the edge of another great war - or - realize that we've been on a slow roll into the World War 3 On Terror since 9/11. As no war is like the one before, due to the evolution of warfare technology, it would be foolish to assume the next great war would be similar to anything before.
