That is a truly dangerous idea. All we need is our well trained men and women who sign allegiances to the United States constitution, being used as a world police force, run by a bunch of bureaucrats at the U.N. No wonder we disagree so often.

Why do you want the US to become a socialist society so badly? Socialism has been a failure for the common working people you claim to be a part of. If you're such a big fan, go over to Europe or up to Canada. Then you'll see how lucky you are to be an American.knc

Wrong -- Russia and China are building their armed forces while ours is going down the drain. (all thanks to AlGore) We need to rebuild our armed forces: The Moscow Times Saturday, Nov. 4, 2000.Page 8 Beijing, Moscow Agree To Improve Warm Ties BEIJING, China — With China saying relations have never been better, the Chinese and Russian prime ministers signed agreements Friday to strengthen economic and strategic ties. The agreements came after almost two hours of talks between Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov and Chinese Prime Minister Zhu Rongji that they said also touched on enhancing scientific and military cooperation. They did not elaborate, but Russian media have quoted Deputy Prime Minister Ilya Klebanov as saying the two sides were close to a deal to sell China sophisticated early-warning radar planes. A Russian Embassy official flatly denied that the sale was discussed in Friday’s talks or by Klebanov, who was in Beijing earlier this week. In July, Washington blocked Israel from selling similar technology to China for fear it might blunt the edge of U.S.-made fighter planes in Taiwan’s air force. Among the agreements signed Friday was a potentially lucrative deal to build pipelines linking natural gas fields in the Far East with energy-hungry consumers and factories in China and South Korea. Another agreement promised a big role for Russian financing and technology in a nuclear power plant being built in China’s central Jiangsu province. Kasyanov told reporters after the talks that the most important achievement is that both sides are really willing to attach more importance on our economic exchanges. After welcoming Kasyanov with an honor guard, a marching band and a 21-gun salute, Zhu told his counterpart that relations have entered a new era of shared economic and strategic interests. Chinese-Russian relations are enjoying their best period ever, Zhu said. Kasyanov, whose two-day visit is his first as prime minister, later met President Jiang Zemin and legislative leader Li Peng, the No. 2 Chinese leader after Jiang. After decades of Soviet-era rivalry, China has become a key buyer of this nation’s military hardware and an important trade partner. The two sides also share common concerns over what they regard as U.S. domination of global affairs and have called for a more balanced "multipolar" world. They also object to a proposed U.S. missile defense system, saying it will spark a new arms race. In a joint statement, Zhu and Kasyanov reaffirmed an agreement in July by China and Russia condemning the proposed U.S. missile shield. © 2000 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Maybe Russia could use your help, flapjack. That is indeed a simply dismaying and scary group of words.
