Building Global Tension through May 19

Global mood through May 19 reflects a theme of polarization or "good guys" vs. "bad guys."  While tensions are running high, and ideologies appearing irreconcilable, there may actually be a drop in reports of mass violence incidents.  There may even be a sense of collective euphoria or irrational exuberance as if the troubles of the world may be about to be solved.

Some of this tension should be released in a wave of increased activity and violence after May 19.

Epidemic factors are still somewhat elevated, but less pressing.  There may be continued concerns with disease, health, or mortality.  The China bird flu may continue to be a background issue.
