WAR IMMINENT AFTER TWO U.S. SOLDIERS KILLED IN GERMANY
March 2 2011
Frankfurt, Germany - Despite what we see in most movies, wars are most often not started in grand dramatic gestures. Most conflicts between nations are the result of long standing issues, economic, social, religious, ethnic, that are sparked by seemingly 
mundane or even unimportant events, things that frequently would hardly warrant a front page story in most newspapers. Take for example the start of World War II which was inspired by the assassination of a low level, poorly regarded royal. That event sparked one war, led to dozens of others, and dramatically changed the course of humanity forever. Those incidents, small events, are often what leads to real change.
As a result of that it is very difficult to predict how major change will come about. No one would have expected a cascade of revolutions across the Arab world as the result of the actions of one lone fruit vendor, but that is what happened, yet a new incident may break that rule. The killing and wounding of four U.S. soldiers in Germany, on the surface, may seem like a small incident in the scope of all the soldiers which are killed on an average day, however because of the country in which the shooting occurred, an ostensibly friendly nation, many U.S. politicians are 
already calling for blood against the nation which inspired so much bloodshed in the last century.
“What we know is that a man opened fire on a bus with U.S. soldiers that was standing in front of Terminal 2 at Frankfurt airport. We believe we have discovered the principle actor in the shooting but we are investigating all avenues,” said a spokesperson for the Frankfurt police department. “We are currently in the midst of discovering whether or not this incident was a part of an organized attack on soldiers. We will investigate this incident fully and we will make another statement once we have more information.”
Early reports indicate that the suspect is a native of Kosovo, very close the region where the event that sparked the First World War occurred.
“This type of action is unacceptable, unimaginable. Our young men and women go all over the world to defend the freedoms of people and it is unacceptable that they would go to a country which purports to be a friend only to killed while doing routine work. This shows a serious lapse in security by all involved and shows how poorly American soldiers are regarded around the world,” said one Republican congressman. “They obviously do not value the lives of the patriotic and honourable young men who defend the freedom of the world. I call on the German government to engage in a robust investigation into this event so that it does not spiral out of control. That would be tragic for everyone involved. We cannot allow this type of aggression against American soldiers.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has vowed diligent follow-up to the shooting.
“This could easily go out of control very quickly, especially if it is determined that the shooter was acting as a part of a larger plan. It isn’t so much Germany that is the problem unto itself, but rather Kosovo. If U.S. forces were to go into that territory they would undoubtedly aggravate the Russians, which would cause a great deal of trouble for just about everyone,” said Scrape TV International analyst Gustav Hander. “I’m sure that no one wants things to go that out of control and because of that will, that good intention, things may not go completely overboard. However as we have seen from history, things can tip over very quickly.”
Kosovo officials apparently refused calls from the German police.
