THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT...PART ONE

Have you ever wondered what the end of the world will be like?All you have to do is take a look around you and you can see signs of it happening already.This isn't some kind of end times rant,just a cold hard look at what's already going on.
The "war on terror" and the middle east.Israel has nukes,so do Pakistan and India.As the war rages on and political and idealogical tensions continue to grow and spread how far fetched is it to think that one of these countries would seek to silence another with a tactical nuclear strike and that the country struck would strike back triggering a chain reaction?Or even worse,the US would hit Iran with one,triggering that WW III bunnypants was talking about a while back with China and/or Russia and whats left of the middle east.
We are inching toward something like this primarily because our government can't get out of the gate diplomacy wise to save their lives.
They are too busy focusing on finger pointing and minutia.
With an election approaching and the unending debates and campaigning by a field that is sadly lacking any viable candidate in either party guarantees more of the same regardless of the outcome.
To quote Joe Flaherty from SCTV: "BOOOOoooooo-SCARY"!
