All Of The Countries Who Say The Oppose Our Action In Iraq Are Full Of Shit That might be what they say for popular consumption but if they really didn't want us to do it they could have stopped us easily. All they had to do, or in fact all they need to do to get us to stop, is sell dollars. The American people will let the government do whatever it wants as long as the stock market is up. The fact that the war has been tied to a major stock market run up is no accident. This rally was paid for by the Fed who printed the dollars, and enabled by Japan, who intervened in the FX markets to make sure no one noticed. (They obviously thought they had a good reason to buy dollars but that is another story.) The Fed can have stock prices be as high as they want by creating enough dollars. And they will continue to do so as long as the value of the dollar holds up. This is the greatest Tom Sawyer story ever. The rest of the world thinks that they are dependant on the US economically. But the fact is we are the ones who are dependant. The rest of the world produces all the stuff and we agree to use it. So France, Germany, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and all you others, we have a saying in the US "Money talks, Bullshit Walks". If you do not believe in Imperialistic Terrorism you can easily stop it. Just sell dollars. And if you are not willing to put your money where you mouth is, then the next time we see you on TV railing against the US we will see you for what you are; imperialist lackeys. BTW - Since our central bank has already told you that they are going to do everything they can to make the dollar as worthless as possible it isn't clear that selling dollars isn't a good idea anyway.
