On the subject of coincidence.

Why does it seem that every time any of the really powerful nations on our planet think they may want to invade another country, there is always a very convenient coincidence that helps things along? So now some sailors get caught by Iran because they had drifted too far into iranian waters, wow that is something. You would think that seasoned sailors would rarely drift off course, especially in water that isn't rough, what a handy coincidence. I mean, if Iran doesn't give up the sailors, Britain will have no choice but to invade and I am sure America will have their back. Is this not getting a bit rediculous? WWI starts when the arch duke of Austria-hungary is assassinated and right at the point when tensions are highest. convenient? Yes! World War II, America gets involved after a convenient early morning attack on pearl harbor. The world trade center certainly fell at an opportune moment in history, getting us even further involved in the middle east. If you study any small amount of history, you will find that it is just brimming with coincidence. Every time I see a news report I can't help but think of how things are becoming predictable, like the WWF was predictable back in the old Hulk Hogan/Andre the Giant years,(it probably still is but I don't watch it anymore). What really bugs me is that people are duped by the plot holes and bad writing that the world government writers come up with. Is this what happened to the writers for Full House and Growing Pains, did they get government jobs? Personally I expect more out of british writers and I am really disappointed with their work in the last few decades. I mean the death of Princess Diana was well written but I felt that, once Elton John got involved, it became too mainstream, really took something away from its original indie feel. I do feel that some really amazing stuff is coming out of places like Bosnia and Luthuania, the starving artist really brings something out of people. Finally I just want to say, I am more than happy to watch but could you at least try to make it more believable? I mean, the same plot over and over again is fine for your average history watcher but some of us need a little more. I know we are not the largest demographic but we are out here. Thank you.
