I think the USA should definitely invade Iraq at the
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.

yeah sure, but I mean 'reasonable' controlled capitalism, which has safeguards built in.. all i'm saying is to find a modification of either system to work together as a solution that is reasonable.

without capitalism for example we'd have no music gear like this or cheap PC's etc, but we dont also want that capitalism to be so fucked it can also ruin everything else.... I dunno.. we're just talking, but there has to be a more sensible solution

Well, I agree that what we need is a combination of capiltalism and socialism..

Same as a decent government is composed of the executive, the judiciary, etc

checks and balances...

yeah

Ah yes - jump on the "bash the Americans" bandwagon. Canada is an interesting example of your ideas, k, no? The healthcare system sucks, but otherwise folks seem to be happy taking care of one another. My hesitation, though, is that many folks work hard to provide a better life for their kids. Raising taxes when a person dies doesn't help with that. Sure it "levels" the playing field, but I don't think that all people SHOULD be playing on a level field. In all honesty...

However, there should be limits as well?
