Russia's irrestible attraction to the megalomaniac

Russian’s recognize megalomaniacs. Megalomaniacs are drawn to Russian like a moth to a flame. Napoleon, Hitler and many others allowed the magnetism of the great nation to overwhelm their better sense, and marched to their doom.

Today Russia senses another megalomaniac prowling its borders like a hungry wolf scouting a herd of sheep. The latest predator is following the pattern of the last one. Hitler took over Czechoslovakia just as the new threat took control of Afghanistan. Hitler invaded Poland on the premise of a preemptive strike just as the new megalomaniac justified his invasion of Iraq. Hitler invaded France. The new predator plans to invade Iran. Then Hitler invaded Russia.

Russian president Vladimir Putin is preparing for the looming threat. He dissolved his government on Sept. 12, most likely to put trusted lieutenants in the highest government positions in this latest time of crisis. Russia announced that it has tested the “Father of all bombs.” It is a “vacuum” bomb with a destructive power greater than a nuclear weapon. It is a match for the “Mother of all bombs” produced recently by the U.S.

George Bush ignited the new cold war. Like his predecessors, he lacks the good sense to stop before it becomes a hot war. Will the FOAB dominate the MOAB? Will there be anyone left to judge?
