This shall be the opening of the revolution. An idea emerges from below and takes centre stage. Some situation that has been static and stagnant and intransigent for years will suddenly become fluid and the world will be transformed by it and made into a better place. The people will cheer it on, for the moment has come that they can claim as their own.Eruptions. Storms. Coups d'état. Revolts. Crisis. An assault on the Citadel. Power is claimed and used by those who know not their own strength. Things taken by suddenness and not by stealth. The coming of something new. A time for bold action.
The Fulfilment:
Israel: PM Netanyahu and Arafat meet for the first time today and awkwardly shake hands.
Latin America: Leaders conclude summit in Bolivia with a plan to merge the Andean and Mercosur free trade blocks within a continental community possessing executive, legislative and judicial powers. "An idea emerges from below and takes centre stage. Some situation that has been static for years will suddenly become fluid."
Russia: Yeltsin publicly endorses the Chechnya peace plan worked out by Lebed. "An idea emerges from below and takes centre stage. Some situation that has been intransigent for years will suddenly become fluid and the world will be transformed by it and made into a better place."
Croatia: War crimes tribunal begins the exhumation of mass graves in Eastern Slavonia.
France: Govt remains antagonistic to the American extension of the no-fly zone over Iraq and will not take part in flights over the new area.
USA: NYC: Three Arabs found guilty in a plot to blow up a dozen passenger jets over the Pacific within a 48hr period.
USA: Hurricane Fran hits the Carolinas, causing massive dameages far inland. "Eruptions. Storms."
Iraq: Kurdish factions around Arbil now bombing each other, but Saddam's troops aree just observing and not participating. The opposition Kurdish leader is now threatening to seek direct involvement and help from Iran. "An assault on the Citadel."
Iraq: CIA plot to get Saddam overthrown soon by the Kurds was busted by Saddam's invasion of the area. "The opening of the revolution." I'm afraid that this, too, is part of the revolution. Saddam is crawling out from beneath the weight of Western sanctions, one fingernail at a time. He is throwing off his shackles and we have lost our nerve to keep him there.
