Doug > it will take global cooperation to work toward at least ameliorating any of the obvious crises facing everyone That's true but unless the US is prepared to give up the idea of American Empire, it won't happen. Today, many/most people suspect that the War against Terrorism, and that includes the terrorist events themselves, is concerned with this agenda and the so-called War against Terrorism is simply an attempt to advance US geopolitical control in the world by "other" means. Further, it is perfectly clear that the "empire" agenda, particularly in the oil-producing countries, is not a recent phenomenon and, in fact, has embraced various US presidencies and administrations, both Republican and Democrat. And this is the very worrying part because it is clear that the threat is neither W nor Kerry, neither Democrats nor Republicans, but bipartisanship. Thus it is apparent that the American democratic process has failed to rein in the aspirations of those who seek global control. In fact, it is the warmongers who now control the US. It is also clear from the PNAC manifesto that the taking of Iraq and Afghanistan does not mark the end of the agenda, as the article which you posted suggests, but these are merely milestones towards its fulfillment. Objectives in the agenda still include Iran and Syria and also the Central Asian Republics as well as, possibly, Yemen and Sudan. The long range threat is clearly China, and to meet this, the US has to position itself strategically in neighboring countries. North Korea is a pain in the butt because it has no oil but its threats will also have to be dealt with. Indirectly, the US relationship with Russia is of paramount importance because Russia is a competitor for most areas needed for the "Empire". Hence we see that Russia is also deeply involved in the War against Terrorism. So, from all of this is is clear that the US could be engaged in a never-ending war against numerous enemies and this must, indeed, be as frightening to most Americans as it is to everyone else. Even more frightening is the realization that no-one knows what to do about it.
