>In any case, I am not sold that we are creating positives. If we are, then I am wrong and Bush will go down in history as a hero. If I am right, we are in for world of hurt. Stop being so polite....I think I've lost my objectivity. Just wait for Bush and Co to self destruct . AND be ready when it happens.... Just keep chanting....'OIL @ 80'...step on a crack and break your mommas back

Are you going to argue that the outsider's actions (The USA) were a net negative to Asia and Europe, that the world would be better off with Asia now being called Japan and Europe now being called Germany? Duh? Of course, I am not saying that, Mindmeld II. Well, then perhaps you would like to rephrase your sentence, because you can imply the above from what you wrote below: rarely does the good generated by an outsider outweigh the bad. A main reason that Japan doesn't rule Asia and Germany doesn't rule Europe is the participation of the outsider USA in WW2. As for what I was refering to about the Philippines, they are NOT a Japanese colony because of the USA's (the outsider's) actions during WW2. As for Noriega and Panama, the country is not run by a drug lord because of the USA (the outsider's) actions to remove him. Both of these are also examples of how outsider's actions are net positives for the affected country. I think Iraq will end up a better place than it was under the past 10 years of UN sanctions during Saddam's rule. You realize more than 15% of the population fled the country during his rule? And Iraq of 2015 will be much better than the Iraq of 2015 would have been under Uday Hussein. But time will tell.
