Are We Going to Take That Same Feeling Seriously About Taiwan?

World War II has this strange way of starting it starts with sort of overtures of what look like small discrete conflicts and it's only gradually that they roll up together to be a world war I've been feeling very queasy about the world situation for the better part of the year. If you get a crisis simultaneously in let's say Iran suppose there's a fighting over Iran's nuclear program it's conceivable in the next 12 or 24 months and the Chinese make a move against Taiwan then suddenly you've got three simultaneous conflicts as a scholar of World War II Victor do you sense that we might be on the edge of something much scarier than Cold War II namely World War III?
