Clint, your questions and my answers. Jim, what % of Americans do you think either know this or are willing to admit it? 30% Is it your view that the American foreign policy, in general, does not revolve around the concept of fairness and providing peace and democracy for the good of foreign people and governments, as claimed? NO Is this all propaganda to allow more tax money to be diverged into various military operations in order to stabilize the flow of oil into this country or keep the US economy going? YES Is it your view that politicians can not say to people, "give us money so we can send your boys and girls to Middle East to make sure that you still pay about $1/gallon at the pump"? YES Is it more politically correct to say that they are protecting humanity and oppressed people from an aggressor like Saddom? Absolutely Would Americans, if told the truth, be willing to pay more for foreign goods or lower their standards of living in exchange for the comfort and rights of other people in the world? NO They might say they would, but when it came time to actually do it they would sing a different tune. Lets face it, Americans are spoiled and they don't want anyone taking anything off their picnic table. Jim
