Tojo, Il Duce and Der Fuhrer , Hizbullah chief, Assad, Ahmadinejad : Dry Bones cartoon.

Watching current events is like watching a crash scene in an eighties movie. Everything seems to be happening in slow motion ...but moving towards its inevitable conclusion.

A new set of "Axis Powers" has arisen. And those of us who are old enough to have seen the movie before are doomed to sit through it again!

* * * And for the under-seventy crowd, "Tojo" was Japan's dictator during WW2. "Il Duce" was Benito Mussolini, the Fascist dictator of Italy during WW2 ... and "Der Fuhrer" was Hitler.
