I am not a prophet

Repeat, I am not a prophet.  Just because I see things I wrote year ago coming true, it merely means I can read the signs of the times.  There were others who also saw it coming.  It's just that now that the War on the West is here, some seem taken aback by the obvious.  Even now, some are following the old 'just meet them halfway, and I'm sure it will work' approach.
