Thoughts as Uranus Enters Aries, Part 1: Diplomacy's Last Straw?

Now that Uranus has been in Aries for a few days, we've had a chance to get some idea of what the energy feels like. Amidst the North Korean mess, the talk of the US invading Pakistan, the news that Israel is refusing to attend nuclear disarmament talks,sending nuclear submarines to Iran, and has just attacked a humanitarian aid flotilla headed for Gaza, you might say we've got an international diplomatic crisis on our hands. Of course, if you follow international politics, you can easily say that there aren't many uneventful days. Knowing astrology however, might make you inclined to wonder if these incidents aren't just the straws that break the collective camel's back. Will we look back on the incidents this past week in the same way we look at the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, commonly considered the event that started WWI?
