...I had not made the connection between the popular sentiments of Communists and of Muslims. That actually helps shift things into perspective for me.
I was actually raised (born in '87, so in the 90's) with some pretty serious personal and political paranoia, and so Gulf War II was just the realization of something I'd been expecting for about a decade. The sad part? There's a distinct difference in scale between what I was anticipating and what actually happened, so I've still got a sense of being on tenterhooks waiting for WWIII to happen.
