<Sure worked with the North Koreans, didn't it??? Now they are saying that possibly Iran actually provided the materials for this nuclear warhead they claim to have.. And we find out that Pakistan was offering Saddam nuclear technology back in 1990.. >
We shouldn't be surprised that North Korea has nukes.
If I was Jiang Zemin or Hu Jintao, or Zhu Rongji [with Belgrade embassy bombed while supporting the front line of the Serbs against Moslem mayhem, and with the USA rattling sabres and nukes in USS Enterprise sailing between Formosa and China and flying spy aircraft right down the border, and with King George II's acolyte Condoleezza Rice talking 'strategic competitor' confrontation lingo and being surrounded by USA military bases in South Korea, Japan's mainland, Okinawa, Palau and once upon a time in Vietnam with the USA having waged war in Vietnam and Korea to establish major bases there and hold back communism, which is alive and well right there in the USA in sunny California no less], I would do as the USA does and arm my client states with sufficient artillery that a serious deterrent to the florid state of mind of the USA political and military wackoes and dominance hierarchy would be dissuaded from a too-adventurous belligerency.
I would be quite happy to ensure that North Korea had a nuke or three. So that, if push comes to shove, which the USA is prone to do [shove], there would be some shock if a demonstration nuke went off near Seoul to inhibit further attacks by the USA. I would also be happy for North Korea to have rockets which could reach Tokyo and Okinawa, just in case.
The USA is going to one day learn that democracy is a good idea and that freedom is also a good idea, and that free and voluntary interchange of goods and services is life-improving.
Human rights are also fine, and the old-fashioned idea of a universal egalitarianism of humans is a better way of running a railroad than one of chimpanzee DNA-based alpha male tribal hierarchies based on territorial conquest and found wealth. Not just for Americans, who are quite a superior species on the planet, but for we, the sheople, too.
Our great and estimable hero, Uncle Al KBE, is on the case. He recognizes that he isn't running a currency just for J6P frequenting Wal-Mart in Preoria. He's running a global currency which is keeping the world's financial wheels turning and on the tracks.
Similarly, the USA would do well to redesign the UN into a democratic institution suitable to act as globocop [not globo busy-body wealth redistributor] and global commons protector; oceans, air, radio spectrum, space, rivers and the like - perhaps disease control, cyberspace rules, patents.
Too many people are still stuck in the narrow little nationalistic ideas of the 19th century. The USA is still battling itself over whether the melanin-rich are normal humans or not. So is NZ. Amazing in the 21st century, but good things take time. Even CDMA is still not used in every country and cyberspace is still trapped in fibre and wire, with only minor leakage into 3D freedom.
In case somebody missed the point, UN Rulz OK! [Not the old ones, the proposed new ones]. The best way for the USA to protect itself is to do for the UN what the famous founding fathers did for the USA. Copying Warlord Dostum or Saddam Hussein [who also uses a policy of assassination to counter belligerent opposition] in a dog eat dog world of dominance hierarchy isn't going to create peace, light, harmony, happiness, prosperity, longevity, love and contentment.
I have spake!
We the Sheeple,

PS: 2003 is Year of the Sheep, so perhaps it's auspicious for We the Sheeple. Maybe China will be the harbinger of said freedom, peace, light, harmony .... etc in a surprisingly counterintuitive geomagnetic flip of polarity, and the USA will be an atavistic reactionary opponent of freedom, liberty, life and the right to pursuit of happiness. You are either with us or against us. It is not wise to be against 6 billion sheep, even if you do have a nuke or three, a large GDP, and can fill the sky with Predators. Predators don't deliver love. Confucianism is much older than the USA - maybe China will once again lead civilization.
Merry Christmas = peace on earth, good will to all and universality of humanity. |
