I just read an interesting transcript of a speech from Clinton's CIA Director, James R. Woolsey.

I found it very interesting. It's a long transcript - worth the read - but I'm finding it hard to sum up:

WW III was the Cold War. It was a war between Freedom and Tyranny. Freedom won.

These wars are the openings of WW IV. Again, bewteen Freedom and Tyranny.

There are three groups to be wary of: the The Islamist Shia, the ruling circles, the ruling Clerics, the Mullahs of Iran, and a minority of Iranian Shiite Clerics. The second group is the fascists - the Baathist parties of Iraq and Syria. The third group is the Islamist Sunni.
These groups are not tied directly together, but can be thought of as mafia families. They hate each other, but their common hatred of the West can unite them, occasionally.

Anyway, I'm tapped out. Fried. Tell me what you think of it. What are your impressions and thoughts?
