VI      The Next War

And I’d also keep reading about the Middle East all the time and feeling worried a lot. I couldn’t help thinking every time Len and Tyler were drunkenly frying up onions and again joking about the attic, burning incense or shisha to cover the smell of mould, damp, weed and small black anonymous things smouldering beneath the elements on the stove, while Hakim kept interjecting from over on the corner computer where he was reading celebrity and fashion blogs, ‘Oh my go-od! Oh my GOD! What is she wearing? Why? Why would she do that?’, I couldn’t help thinking that in the next war, whatever that is or looks like, the next big one, probably the gays and Muslims will be fine. Probably no one will want to kill them. Probably no one will want to send Chinese people back home or anything like that. Probably the Czechs or Slovaks will forget all about sterilising their Gypsies and the Lao will stop trying to wipe out the Hmong and instead something vastly more terrible will happen, like who knows what.
