Seven means East vs. West

Has anyone ever noticed that every James Bond film, so far, that has been released in a year ending with the number seven seems to have a plot about a villian playing both the east and west for his advantage ? Take a look:

You Only Live Twice (1967):

Ernst Stavro Blofeld plans to start a war between the USA and USSR by sabotaging their space programs.

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977):

Karl Stromberg plans to start a war between the USA and USSR by destroying by New York and Moscow

The Living Daylights (1987):

General Georgi Koskov manipulates the British to believe that the head of the KGB is ordering the execution of western spies.

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997):

Elliot Carver plans on starting a war between Britain and China to gain exclusive broadcasting rights in China for the next 100 years.

It all ends up boiling down to East Vs. West. I am sure many have noticed by now.

    This is a fair observation Ricardo, though it most likely is just coincidence. Not sure I can add anything to it mind! ;%

    Seven IS the biblical number of completeness, you know. Perhaps when east and west really go all out, the world will be completely destroyed. Did anything happen in 2007?
    hmmm...........
