Colby Cosh loves world peace?

I have been on a downward spiral this week. The National Post commissioned a five-part series about THE NEXT WAR. In what was basically starting to look like historian war-mongering self-touching "fanfic", journalist after journalist would take at the world as of 2007 and extrapolate trying to guess what the next major conflict would be.

This is, admittedly, not an entirely alien idea. Instances like the EU-USA war or the idea of an all out war against Islam just don't sit well. Maybe I'm one of those dagnabbed pinko coward bastards they bitch about in these articles. Just when the exercise seems genuinely limited to xenophobia and fear-mongering, Colby Cosh enters. Now Mr Cosh is not exactly reputable for being dove-ish or even generally likeable by anyone left of Ralph Klein. Heck, not even anyone standing to the left of Nancy Reagan particularly likes him.

He not only shouts out to Wikipedia, to show how cool he is, but predicts...no war. NO WAR! The only columnist who doesn't predict a millenial smackdown. He somehow seeming measured in his analysis! Colby Cosh is like John Lennon or maybe even Gandhi. COSH FOR PEACE!

Someone set him up with Yoko...


Digg!
