Hotspots of the World

Nope it is not about the WiFi. Though I wish I write about the WiFi kind when I mention Hotspots.
Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Sri Lanka, Southern Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Nepal....and the count goes up by the day.
Though one is tempted to blame the United States for all of them, the ground realities state that some of them are areas that the USA has not had a chance to meddle around with, yet.
Why do people keep fighting with each other? Why does it make some so happy to exterminate others. Does allah (I left the capital A out on purpose) really need a bloody sacrifice for an entry ticket to paradise. Does Chairman Mao really have a back door to Heaven. Is Osama Bin Laden, God's speed bump to our excesses? Did the J man really turn his other cheek? Is Krishna, an outdated car (Oop's Chariot) driver? Did Osho have a driving license in spite of his 99 Rolls Royce's? Are the MorMons, hiding something with the redundant "M" in the middle? Questions, questions.
I am watching "Vertical Limit"( In case you went 'Duh...what', its a movie) in a nice little house in the suburbs of London. Its all peaceful and quite, unlike the hotspots of the world, but...but the hotspots of the world were created by a bunch of people not too far from here. I have just give up on democracy, the leaders of the free world are going to end up vaporising the planet anyways, I just hope the idiots don't do it before my time is up.
