Very well.
The Karma statement refers to possible fallout from a war we are waging against an enemy we have not bothered to attempt to understand. The United States went into Iraq for reasons I have yet to grasp, and I have tried very hard. To this day I am confused as to the current explanation for an attack, and occupation of another nation.
Now, if I, as an American citizen, with enormous amounts of information at my disposal cannot understand why we are there, and am forced to "guess" about such an important issue, what of the people under occupation? We cannot expect acceptance from the people of Iraq.
Karma is similar to the Threefold Law. Whatever you do, good or bad, expect a return threefold.
We have, in my opinion, done a great injustice to an entire population of people. Indeed an entire culture. By starting this war, we have in reality, started the Jihad. If we had attempted to understand the culture (Which I do not claim to fully understand), we would likely have been able to avoid much of the miscommunication that has lead to our current nightmare scenario.
In short, we fucked up, and Karma is in payback mode.
