    The last panel is so cool…When ever I say “Knock on wood.”, I always knock on my head, just like Arlo….Is there anybody who doesn’t?

    If we ever fight WW III, WW IV will be fought with stick and stones.

    Today, this reminds me that when I was about 7 (circa 1959), I was positive I would see World War III in my lifetime!

    Perhaps this is what Jimmy is saying? Arlo’s statement in panel 3 is kind of knot-headed.

    Nos Nevets: excellent points. What people fail to understand is that Islam is not a religion in the sense that most modern people understand the term. Islam is a a way of life, hence the concept of sharia law, and is incompatible with the Western ideals of freedom of thought, religion, etc. It is ironic that some comments cite a vision of post-Armageddon life being primitive; if the vision of fundamental Islamists comes to pass, we’ll all be living life just as they did in the 6th Century. I used to be tolerant, but now I see that the best defense is to snuff out the cancer; the modern world needs to be just as ruthless in our quest to eradicate as fundamental Islam is in its quest to eradicate us.

    History will prove that religious wars are started by zealots who are a small percentage of the whole; crusade or jihad different name same idealism towards their own beliefs.

    War is addictive, someone is always aggressive in soft or hard terms. We’d rather throw a stone or accusation at our fellow man instead of love and kindness. Not one person is immune to this……on either side of the stone….

    Actually WWIII began in the 1950s and ended around 1990. WW1 was the European War (16 million dead), WWII was the Fascist War (60 million dead), WWIII was the Communist War (over 100 million dead, mostly in China and the USSR), and WWIV is the Islamic War. As with most wars, civilian casualties will be highest.

    We are on our way to WW III. Keep an eye on China, Russia, the Muslim Caliphate. And we have a president who doesn’t have a clue. That is what causes war.

    the clueless president was Bush II. He and his war criminal administration managed to so totally destroy stability in the middle east that it’ll take decades to restore some stability. When it comes to national security the righties can STFU and sit down. you’re all incompetents.

    From the musical South Pacific a little ditty- ’You’ve Got to be Carefully Taught’ to hate and fear. Zealots of every stripe are using religion as an excuse to kill around the world today, yes- the Middle East, but also S Sudan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, India. Islam is the religion of many many people- while as usual the moderates are too silent [how many American spoke up against Japanese internment?], it is basically a religion of peace and tolerance. You can pick and chose terrible passages from the Koran but how often they sound like the Old Testament. I think we are particularly appalled by the treatment of women but in most of the world women are still considered chattel, their treatment is mainly an outgrowth of tribal custom not Islam or Hinduism or Buddhism or some Christian sects.To demonize Islam betrays our own ignorance and paranoia. Stop and read the Koran or study scholars- dont take the Internet or spin TV as a unbiased source.I say this not as an apologist but a weary world traveler.

    WWIII was fought between the proxy states of the United States and Russia. Commonly known as the cold war due to it’s lack of open warfare it was fought as small skirmishes forover forty years.

    @Quantum Leaper “If we ever fight WW III, WW IV will be fought with stick and stones”.Not if the other side begins with a preemptive strikeOr with biological weapons which aren’t recognized until it is too late to fight back..See? There IS hope.

    DavidHuieGreen; The Mideast was pretty darn stable, for hundreds of years, under the Ottoman Empire. That ended with WW-I.

    World War I (or the Great War as it was called) was not the first world war. That happened in the 1700’s, in the US we call it the French and Indian War, elsewhere it was called the Seven Year War and it involved countries all over the globe – including in eastern Asia.
