earliest possible opportunity. They threaten the US's
control of this vital oil producing region. If the US has no
access to this oil, the economy will crumble and people
will starve. let's keep the starving where they belong. In
the thrid world!
What's the point of being the world's greatest power if
you can't excercise that power in your own interests?
The whinging liberals can leave the country as far as I
am concerned. The US should use its military, political
and economic power to assure it's safe future. Any
other course of action is mere self delusion. Do you
think that another country with the same power as the
US would act any differently?
Anyone, like bin laden, or arafat, who dares to attack
the US or its interests must be first humiliated and then
destroyed. This may cause resentment in other nations,
but what the hell are they going to do about it? Invade
America?
Anyone who threatens the viability of US corporates
must be taught a lesson. The US controls the IMF, the
World Bank, etc etc. The US should NOT be afraid to
use this leverage to further its own ends.
The time has come for the world to realise that we are
not beholden to any organisation, legal body or treaty,
whether or not we signed it sometime in the past.
Times, as they say, change.

credentials. No more pussy footing around
destabalising socialist regimes in tinpot banana
republics, or forcing tiny little caribbean economies to
open up their internal markets to our corporates.
The next step is to remove the ability of countries to
defend themelves from ourselves or our allies (Israel for
instance) using the guise of action against terrorism,
and thus establish the US hegemony.
Who on earth would miss out on the opportunity that
now stands before the US?
If anyone stands in our way (unlikely) we can simply
arrange for some terrorist acts to be initiated from that
area (that's what the CIA is for) and use that to justify a
bit of carpet bombing.
It is also vital that we do not allow democracy to take
hold in the Arab countires. The risk of fundamental
Islamic governments being elected is too great. We can
work together with the Kings and Princes of that region
to ensure that any democratic movements are
discredited and prevented from gaining a foothold. It
may sound harsh, but that's what real politics is all
about, 'blood and iron' as Bismarck used to say.
The alternative is to allow the US economy to begin a
downward slide and that means unemployment, civil
unrest and the dimunition of US power globally.
With the establishment of the single currency in the
European union and the rise of the Chinese economy
now is not the time to worry about 'morals' or 'ethics',
now is the time to act.
Secure control of the world's remaining oil resources, in
the middle east and around the black sea, plus of
course the means to deliver that oil to market; the
pipeline thru Afghanistan to the Indian subcontinent
and the pipeline to Europe thru Kosovo.
Exit from so called 'green' treaties, this gives us a
susbstantial economic advantage over our competitors
who do sign up.
Increase spending on arms and the military in general.
We are now in a position to put an unbridgeable gap
between ourselves and the powers left in the rest of the
world, notably China and Europe.
To combat terrorists we can make use of the new gps
(global positioning satellites) technology to tag all
suspects, thus making sure that we can immediately
eliminate anyone who was not involved. In fact we
should consider tagging all americans. Imagine if your
child was kidnapped and you could track exactly where
they were to within 30 feet? That way, anyone who
wasn't tagged would immediately fall under suspicion.
If we fail to follow this path, we will pay the price, no one
else.
