Delphic Prophecy

Croesus, the legendairily wealthy King of Lydia consulted the Oracle of Delphi before attacking Persia, and according to Herodotus received the answer "if you do, you will destroy a great empire." (Adapted from theWikipedia) Croesus considered this a favorable omen, and attacked, resulting in the destruction of a great empire (his).

George Bush set his sights on smaller game, but the same result appears to loom. He has already destroyed our reputation. Our Army is still intact, but showing lots of strain. The economy looks all but doomed.
