War to War to War

As I track the wars presently being waged, I try to look over this information in a diffuse and objective way. I can only determine that the endless war promised by the Neo Conservatives is in full bloom. Here is a brief listing of relevant articles.

Afghanistan - This article points out that the political and social structure of Afghanistan is in serious decline. The country of the first 9-11 war, viewed as a success by the Bush Administration with Hamid Karzai running the show, is falling apart faster than a wooden cart pulled by a NASCAR speed car at full throttle.

Iraq - Off the main page of most major newspapers and out of earshot of most Americans because of the newest war in the Middle East, Iraq slides even further into decline. With dozens of people being killed in Baghdad alone on a daily basis, the civil war is established and raging. Somehow 130,000 US troops do not rate news or attention from Washington.

Lebanon - Israeli ground troops invade Lebanon. I do not see the intelligence or morality behind collective punishment. As surely as not all Americans are neo conservatives, not all Lebanese people are part of Hezbollah. However, as the Israeli invasion of Lebanon continues, there is no other way of describing the resultant action.

Neo-conservatives - With Afghanistan failing, Iraq in a catastrophic civil war, the main architects of both these wars are actually calling for another war with Iran. Instead of two house fires that are raging and the firemen are finding impossible to put out, add in a third even larger house fire. Somehow this will fix everything. Is there a term that expresses the sense of the outer most fringe reaches of exasperation and absurdity? Article: Ramping up war with Iran.
