TO ALL:- We have often heard of the proverbial expression: ".....killing two birds with one stone." To my mind, an invasion into, and the conquest of Iraq will be tantamount to killing three (or even more) birds with one stone. This represents an economy of means, efforts and time in the US objective to depose Saddam, to emasculate the Palestinians and to isolate and defeat Al-Qaeda, all in one blow!!! Then, despite denials to the contrary, the US will eventually establish a military outpost and a quasi-colony in the Middle East, and eventually it will have control of oil in the Middle East and with that it will become the top dog on planet Earth, and the safety of Israel will be assured!!! This will be just and sweet reward for the wealthy and powerful Kingmaker Jews who have been "bankrolling" so many US politicians for so many years. China is fast becoming a world power to reckon with. It is becoming richer as it sells more and more manufactured goods to the West. Just go into any store and pick up at random the goods there and you will quickly see they were made in China! For the US to maintain its hegemony and imperialism worldwide, it is vital that the power of China be curtailed or smothered altogether. Rightly or wrongly, I believe that the US will attempt to emasculate China next after it has finished with Saddam, Al-Qaeda and the Palestinians and established its quasi-colony!!! At present all the friendly and co-operative relationships the US have with China are nothing more than window dressing. The US finds N. Korea worrisome and, for the time being, it needs China's help and influence to keep N. Korea at bay. On the other hand, the US distrusts China. Because of this, it continually seeks to delay China's takeover of Taiwan or the reunification of Taiwan with China. To be sure, we live in very interesting and dangerous times!!! Just in case anyone forgets, it is always desirable to use oil in other lands first because when the foreign supply becomes depleted, the oil back home may then be put to good use without the US having to go begging around and/or making excuses to be present in other people's backyards. The above is just my opinion. If anyone doesn't understand this, just remember I am not asking you to swallow my opinions. And if anyone wishes to respond, I will greatly appreciate a reasoned reply. It requires no effort at all to say something is good or no good or atrocious. On the contrary, it requires a lot of effort and seriousness to provide a reasoned opinion.
