I said all along that the reason why Bushy went to war was not for oil, oils sake but to secure a steady, stable, and cheap price of oil hereafter known as a strategic fuel...to keep the global economy running smoothly...
Also I said that just take a look at the map of the ME and the location of Irwreck to the proximity of other nations with reserves of oil or with regimes that are troublesome to the USA....Iran and Syria...we also are on Irans other border ...afganistan...This is Geo Politics...
Now who benfits the most from having a nice steady etc supply of oil that keeps the Global economy lubricated....why the USA does with all it's business dealings throughout the world...
Now are we going to invade Iran or Syria or N Korea...I don't think Bush is up for invading anything after Irwreck...
The best solution to
Iran...jam their airwaves with commericals for US consumer goods....that will end the reign of the mullahs...the people will take them out and lynch them...eventually
Syria...rattle the saber at their doorstep..and have Israel go eyeball to eyeball witrh them...
N Korea...now there is a tougher nut to crack..the guy wants a cookie if he evens talks to you...The BEST way to get at N Korea is through the Chinese...the N Koreans may disrespect the US but they are AFRAID of the CHinese...cause they will show them no mercy and don't care what it takes to knock them off if push comes to shove..
Bush is exactly right about N Korea...spread the burden of dealing with them to their neighbors who have one he11 of alot to loose. China, Japan, Russia, S Korea and the US ...alll putting pressure on the little yellow B@stards...
If I were the USA I would start to really worry about France and Russia in paticular trying to get the Euro as the Reserve Currency for the world...that makes the French a major player again in world politics...and REALLY ENDS US HEGEMONY AS THE WORLD POWER...we might not even be #1 anymore...but the problem there is if we go down they go down because all our economies are so interdependent.
NOW HERE IS THE BIGGIE THAT I"VE BIN THINKING ABOUT...so far I don't have a full grasp of the concept....but the USA in of itself is in decline...but so are the other nation states...what we are seeing is the RISE of a MultiNational Corporate State....Where business and the flow of money and goods and services reigns supream... in the long run it will mean adecline in the living standard of Americans...while the living standards of other places comes up..a leveling process so to speak... like I said a Corporation doesn't care whether a guy in Topeka or in Timbucktu gets the job...all that matter is the bottom line...
