2019 – The Difficult Year

At the beginning of January, it is a tradition to try and forecast the events of the coming year. And, I’ve tried to do that, every year, with limited success. Timing is not my strength, as I have demonstrated over the past few years. Having said that, there aren’t many who have done any better. So, I’m in good company.

World War III – Syria was the Beginning

As a kid, I was fascinated by World War II. It was the quintessential and uncomplicated battle between good and evil. You knew who the good guys were, and they won.

What wasn’t there to like?

As I grew older, I began to understand the reasons why it started and when it started. And, there was a point when I asked myself:

What was it like to live at the beginning of such a massive world war?

I always wondered about that – what it was like to know that a world war was coming.
