    Had to look up millenarian. Interesting. I find it hard to believe that something as arbitrary as base 10 mathematics (I suspect 10 fingers... 10 toes is the genesis of that) has anything to do with or effect on world events.

    And I don't see how another attack is a remotely likely catalyst for that.

          I don't see what the justification is for another attack.

            Well the immediate cause was the deadly crackdown on the protesters.

            The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

                If it results in regime change, great. I doubt it. It’s easier to stay in power if you don’t care who you kill to do so.

                  Agree, but I am fearing that even if there is a regime change, what does that mean? New people but same situation?

                  I know it is early in Venezuela, and I do think that Madero had to go, but is the new regime any different?

                    Considering all he said about Iraq being the greatest mistake in American history, this is an interesting strategy.

                    I was only joking

                      It’s literally the same regime. They just found a more pliant figure to lead it.
