Upon reflection, guess a second post is in order. :(I *never* said "don't WORRY about Germany" (thanks for putting words in my mouth) ... what I *said* was there are BIGGER priorities. You, sir are stuck in an obsession. And the whole "Republican dream" of "spreading democracy" like some cheap storefront religion has EVERYTHING to do with all of this. We'll conveniently forget that the United States is a REPUBLIC, and NOT a "democracy" and that our republic is designed to mitigate the "tyranny of the majority" and is a far better system than "democracy" ... so WHY is there some need to "spread" it to cultures and nations which want no part of "OUR way or the highway?" As to US, our bankers, hosers and 419'ers rode in on a Teddy Roosevelt horse peddling junk bonds, worthless paper and scams, ripped other nations off for their resources and then pulled the rug out. Not to mention our continuing support of corrupt regimes which further piss off people in other places? Like ARABIA as but one example? And we WONDER why they want to kill us? And now, we've done it to the Balkans and the Caucasus ... and we're ... (gasp!) ... SURPRISED that it ain't going over? So we march into Iraq after going out of our way to lose Afghanistan SOLELY on the premise that "Saddam tried to kill my daddy" and that was as deep as it got? We allowed a CON MAN in Iraq to peddle all sorts of unproven shit to authorize this endeavor instead of taking care of the problem and being a "good neighbor" again with our neocon arrogance as "last remaining superpower?" Russians were the ONLY thing that kept us in line! Once they faded, did we stand down and look for peaceful solutions? Nope. It's one thing to go after those who have attacked us ... quite another to "make them up." And even WORSE pushing Russia into a corner where they had no CHOICE but to react. Meanwhile, if shit comes down, do we HAVE "spare soldiers?" Nope. ANY nation (including ours) has the political responsibility to take care of their *OWN* first ... and once that's taken care of, reach out to others to trade what we need and live in peace unless that peace is destroyed. Then "go get 'em" is in order. Katrina? US can't even take care of our OWN ... why should any other nation put their eggs in OUR basket when all we do is steal from them and then hang them out to dry? There's yer problem ... if Obama is elected, even if he continues the "doctrine" at least he gives us a fresh start, an ability to back off from neocon "religion/politic" and the opportunity to change our ways. Boy, I'll bet THIS pisses you arf. Heh.  GOOD for Germany! They're doing what we SHOULD have done, and actually HAD been doing before Bush. Remember "cheap gas?" You can thank Lukoil for that ... You can thank PNAC for the rest. whoops. :( Sorry ... the GOP show needs to be cancelled for low ratings. And Germany (and China) get to reap our fuckup. :( |
