For anyone who is watching this summer carefully for trouble to increase.

The worst case was that Washington would fail to stabilise Afghanistan, Pakistan would collapse and al-Qaeda would end up running what he called 'Talibanistan.'

"This is not acceptable. You can't have al-Qaeda in control of Pakistan's missiles," he said.

"It's too early to tell which way it will go. We'll start to know about July. That's the peak fighting season … and a month from the Afghan presidential election."

"We have to face the fact that if Pakistan collapses it will dwarf anything we have seen so far in whatever we're calling the war on terror now," said David Kilcullen, a former Australian Army officer who was a specialist adviser for the Bush administration and is now a consultant to the Obama White House.

"You just can't say that you're not going to worry about al-Qaeda taking control of Pakistan and its nukes," he said.
"But Pakistan has 173 million people and 100 nuclear weapons, an army which is bigger than the American army, and the headquarters of al-Qaeda sitting in two-thirds of the country which the Government does not control," he told the Herald .

I was actually looking forward to summer.......

Honestly, there is so much bad out there that could happen. To me, it's just a question of when, not if.....re: Mexico, Pakistan, the economy, the coming pandemic. My thought is that the Lord has been staying His hand so that temple work and missionary work can continue. But for how long? When do we reach the point when the Lord says "Enough!" and all you-know-what breaks loose?!?
