OT, continue... >> they were assigned to bomb civilians? That was their mission? As there were massive air strikes - like the ones in Korea and Vietnam, civilian casaulties happened. Now that if the US wants to install nuclear warheads near Tailand or Japan,...you would see massive demostrations. Using the weapons, that could well mean the civilians are being targeted. >> We live in a society of factions, too many special interests and >> too few common ones. It's been going down-hill for a long while now. I think the US wants to do the same thing on China - more special interest groups. >> Did you know the same year the federal income tax was instituted >> was the same year the Federal Reserve regained control of the >> banking system, U.S. monetary and interest rate policy? The Fed has too much power. Period. All the Greenspan, Soros, blah blah have too much power as they speak. It's funny that the PRC recently said that that flamboyant Soros is not welcomed by the Chinese officials in the Chinese territories. Afterall, we have to admit that the current global monetary system has a problem - the rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer. The underdeveloped countries which are constantly under natural disasters can hardly build up their economies. If they have marketplaces to follow what the US has done in the free society - that is, free trades in global economy, they are likely to expose themselves into danger. Lots of international and expert investors (mostly rich folks) are purely Pump&Dumpsters. They want to make money for their own and totally disregard the social aspects of other nations - particularly those underdeveloped countries. Now that they've dumped what they have invested...and then problem spread throughout those countries. Now here comes the FLU spreading across nations, and the rich folks are blaming the poor countries spreading the virus. I have to admit that HK is lucky enough to survive. Thanks for the brilliant Treasurer Donald Tsui, who graduated from Yale. He bought lots of HK stocks during the plague, making really good profits by now. That idiot Greenspan doesn't understand, blaming Tsui about the gov interferance to the market. I don't think nowadays people would listen Greenspan's idiot remarks much. His theories are purely based on fundamentals and totally ignores how technologies influence the market. Technologies are too important for today's society, not only for the US economy, but for the world economy in general, just to build up fundamentals.
