Hey, I've seen Commies drinking water. Never seen any drinking Vodka. I did get pretty hammered with a Commie once drinking some exceptionally foul alcohol called Mao Tai though, but that's a story for another thread ;)
Anyhow...No. This isn't the start of WWIII. Maybe the start of a Middle East war but not WWIII. If we had a world war everytime the Jews and Arabs started shooting at each other we'd be up to what? WWVI? WWVII? Maybe more?
