Hi DJ, good pieces you bring, this one here, then today's - #reply-19671199
This thread has developed up so partisan, into proponents of the neocon First Let's Roll Them Tanks invasion approach versus those who question if perhaps there might exist somewhere a viable alternative .... this is probably natural thread dynamics, combined with the current state of the world being so centred around US military and economic power
Best course for most of the Rest of Us is to politely evade as much as possible that centralisation, to deal with each other directly, to bypass having to get a permission slip out of Washington .... we have plenty of common interest, common activities, for an example in foreign affairs there are right now germans and canadians in Afghanistan, to such extent as is possible we should be cooperating directly between our nations
It is not fair to the average US national, nor at all in his interest, to take on responsibility for that which does not effect him .... i would not want this responsibility, were i one, any more than Bilow Carl or Steven Rogers do - several times more US nationals opposed the neocon invasion of Iraq than there are canadians in total, more than there are frenchmen or germans in total .... they have the same problem we do in our countries though, politicians always after more power, and he who grabs power gets responsibility thrust up the ying-yang ..... from where sprout seeds for the next change of power, no doubt, i guess it was always thus ..... but we can at least try to short-circuit this, and a good start might be made by avoiding unnecessary use of USD, exchanging our currencies directly from one to another, or through some other medium, perhaps a richly coloured and malleable metal, for instance -g- .... cheers |
