Another War looming?

[MaryN]

O.K., so it looks like we are off to bomb things in Iraq again, and it will probably stretch to Syrian targets as well. I am sure there will be repercussions in this country - all those delightful little jihadists coming back to wreak havoc in communities here.

Well, I don't know about you lot, but I think this is cranking up to be a real problem. I can't say I would be surprised; I think a religious "war" in this country is becoming a real possibility, and with the increase in religious fanatacism on behalf of the Muslims and their "religion of peace" (my arse!), I can see a response coming strongly from the very ticked-off locals. We are already taking bets on how long it would be before the local Islamic Centre gets trashed should there be another Muslim-fuelled atrocity.

I'm finding this quite stressful, and I'm also very angry. I did consider myself quite a laid-back sort of person; you know, live and let live, but that is changing fast. This is not an area where we see many ethnic minorities on the ground, but I find myself looking carefully at those who do venture out onto the streets, and I know others are doing the same.

This is not the problem that I envisaged prepping for - I was leaning more towards social breakdown due to global financial problems - and to be honest, I'm not sure how to deal with it. Are any of you guys having the same thoughts??
