"We only need VISUALIZE A WORLD WHERE THE RULES WERE SET BY Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Imperial Japan, or Communist China."

No need to visualize it, look around you, you have become exactly what you fought against, it's that simple. Israel and the USA are power mad and expansionary running roughshod all over the world, stealing natural resources, propping up dictators, seeking new markets for the corporations and banks that run America (the people sure don't) and causing wars disguised as fighting terrorism (that the Americans themselves created) to bring so called "democracy" to others. You cannot see that the America of today is NOT the America that brought many fine things to the world in the past.

Just as Japan and Germany have changed from their desire to dominate the world, America has taken their place and now must be defeated somehow and it doesn't matter by who. I think you don't see this or are blinded by American propaganda dispensed daily on TV. Take the TV show 24. Are you watching this farce? It's full of action but has Americans rooting for the wrong side. The 'Iranians' are the real heros in the show not the Americans. The show is so full of BS its laughable.

If the world wants our help, they can pay us. Japan does not want our help. Does Germany want to pay us for the cost of troops there? If not, as a US citizen I sure do not want to pay for it. Is Germany under any threat? From who? It makes zero sense for the US to volunteer to be the world's policeman when we cannot afford it, and many of the countries where we have troops stationed are ambivalent at best about us being there. I hope the first thing Iraq does after they have a functioning government is to demand all US troops leave. It would be better still if Saudi followed suit. Mish

Miami Faces Financial Meltdown; SEC Investigates "Financial Shell Game" Asks For Records On All Major Bond Deals Since 2006 globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com With most eyes on California, proponents of the Watched Pot Theory likely thought the first major blowup in the US would be someplace else.

Hawk, I say we can't afford NOT to be involved in how the global "rules" are implemented, especially when they protect our values and interests. Well yes the US could stand to do a less meddling .. BUT that statement of yours is quite correct.. all those other countries are going to do what's best for them.. so while the US needs to learn to share for lack of a better term.. that's as far as it can afford to go without forsaking its own self interest.. which would be plain stupid to do.. I'll let the rest go beyond that.. :o) since all can see that the US system hasn't been a paragon lately in re the care of it's own populace ... beyond a small minority.. which of course relates to its own self interest ... but the definition of that self interest is a tad blurry these days.
