About this video:
Last week I brought to your attention the far flung theory of Russian academic Igor Panarin, who foresees civil war in the United States arising from the current economic crisis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_wzMDQgpHw

With Obama's new Director of Intel Dennis Blair telling congress that the number one security peril facing the United States is global economic turmoil, has the Intel community agree with Panarin?

Furthermore, is the Obama strategy of inviting comparison between himself and Lincoln an example in "be careful what you wish for?"
