To me, that is just sort of proof of the American Media.
The world was far more dangerous with things such as the crusades, and the holocaust. Now, I know you're not saying the world right now, in its semi-peaceful manor is more dangerous than a world that was entirely at war, where mass genocide was being conducted. And I know you're not saying the world is more dangerous now than it was back in the times of crusades and mass slaughterings due to religious beliefs. Now I know in a time where liberalism, high gas prices and the Koran may be rampant, that still doesnt really seem to come off as being up there with the holocaust, Roman/Ottoman Empire, or the crusades.

Ty, the American Media has nothing to do with this opinion. In fact, what scares me the most is what our media DOESN'T report, or at least doesn't pay much attention to...
1) Iran is shelling northern Iraq, trying to kill the Kurds

2) Iran recently attacked and took over an Romanian oil rig, breaking all kinds of international law

3) Hezbollah has a strong foothold in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon, if not MORE countries and the fact that the international community (including the US) is now REGOTIATING with them only gives them more credibility and power in the region.
4) Hezbollah is basically a proxy army of Iran, not unlike the SS was for WW2 Germany.
EDIT: Two items have been verified.
** Please note the above information is taken from the Glenn Beck program and I have not double checked its authenticity. Beck does have a good track record and that it why I have posted them as fact. Contradicting articles and fact are welcome.**
If the above are 100% accurate, we are in big big trouble. Glenn Beck referred to something called The Perfect Storm. That is when all the dominos fall in the right order to send the world into chaos, like happened in WW1, WW2, etc. In fact, you mentioned some of them yourself. I'm not saying we are going to have WW3 and neither did Beck, but we are on the PRECIPICE of it. Honeslty, I think it all lies with Iraq. If we leave Iraq before they can sustain their government and defend themselves, Iran will storm in and take the south and all of the oil fields, I will guarantee that will happen. They'll also most likely take the north. With hezbollah's influence in the remaining countries Iran will have its best chance to unite the majority of the ME under one country.
If that happens, and I pray it doesn't, all bets are off. The western world will be at risk and not because of nuclear weapons, but because of OIL. You let Iran control the oil in the ME, and they will use it to crush the West. They've said that is their plan and HELL, its in Iran's CONSTITUTION to bring down western society.
The problem is, the world seems unwilling and unable to deal with Iran on any level. Iran basically does whatever it likes with no consequence and Thom gains more and more credibility in his own nation as well as others.
Something needs to change, and change quickly.
