A New Decade

We have just five days to go before the 2nd decade of the 21st century arrives with all it will bring.

What will it be?

I was bemused by a Blog in the UK Telegraph quoting Gladstone the old British Statesman who referred to the Quran a long time ago when he said: “…an accursed book… So long as there is this book there will be no peace in the world.”

[PS insert: if the link does not print the way it should I shall repeat it in a first comment at the end. My system is playing up]

President Obama obviously differs strongly with his referral to “the Holy Quran” every time he gets a chance to open his mouth.

I am too old now to concern myself with New Year’s resolutions. This year will deliver my “three score and ten” on August 3rd and maybe herald the commencement of own last decade though I hope to add at least another one. But what will it bring?

Will Africa continue to go back another five decades with every new one forward? Positively yes! Will we see the final and inevitable showdown between Islam and Christianity? Likely? Will there be peace in the Middle East? Most unlikely? Will China and Russia continue to rise to World domination? Most likely? Will Britain be able to extricate itself from the road [and their seemingly firm intention] towards Third World status? Highly unlikely?

And then, of course, the million dollar question: Will America survive? Will it indeed survive Obama? The answer to the second question must be NO if he stays in power through 2016. What if America sends him back to Kenya at the end of this year? Well, they may have a small chance if they can do that.

Comments if you wish. I am young for my years but old enough to accept and live with the truth and much too old to be fooled by the lies and the deceit of forty year old politicians, prime ministers, presidents, tin-pot kings, crooked bankers or finance wizards and egomaniacs like Oprah.
