If the disenfranchised try to overthrow their governments, they are called terrorists by the U.S. There is little opportunity to affect change peacefully. Increasingly, these people see their misery as connected to the U.S. government's policies. I cannot help but repeat something that I have said for many years: the reason the U.S. is surprisingly popular with many in Iran is that the U.S. has not imposed the current regime on the people of Iran. It's that simple. <BR/><BR/>The Middle East is ready for an explosion like none seen before. At the same time, America's growing control of the region's resources threatens China. China will be increasingly daring in its support of anti-American elements in the region and around the world, as it has little choice but to thwart U.S. domination of the Persian Gulf. Any hostile act against U.S. interests could trigger a massive U.S. response, which could in turn fuel widespread uprisings against American allies and interests. A world war could erupt because the U.S. pursues hegemony through corrupt, unelected proxies at the political, social, and economic expense of millions of innocent people.<BR/><BR/>How can Americans, whose ancestors fought for their own independence, be accomplices to rulers who deprive millions of people in the Middle East of their rights? How can America not see the folly of its imperial ways? How can America be blind to the catastrophe that is sure to follow?Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-51724608417766556912007-11-28T11:06:00.000-07:002007-11-28T11:06:00.000-07:00Oil Costs More Than You Think<A HREF="http://www.antiwar.com/orig/askari.php?articleid=11965" REL="nofollow">Oil Costs More Than You Think</A>Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-53506787791498197712007-11-28T11:04:00.000-07:002007-11-28T11:04:00.000-07:00So what are the Iraqis getting in return for allow...So what are the Iraqis getting in return for allowing the wholesale looting of their natural resources? Fifty thousand U.S. troops stationed permanently in the country, mostly in urban areas – the plan is for 14 "enduring bases," as we found out back in 2003. In spite of all the palaver about "foreign" threats, there is no doubt that we are now in the business of protecting the Iraqi "government" from their own people. In return, favored American corporate interests will be allowed to strip the country bare. <BR/><BR/>This agreement formalizes Iraq's status as a de facto U.S. protectorate, a province of the empire – an American beachhead in a radically destabilized Middle East that could easily be used as a launching pad for future (and even more ambitious) wars of "liberation."Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-77064014238877733522007-11-28T11:00:00.000-07:002007-11-28T11:00:00.000-07:00Road to Empire<A HREF="http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=11966" REL="nofollow">Road to Empire</A>Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-40953088376871515782007-11-28T10:56:00.000-07:002007-11-28T10:56:00.000-07:00THIS IS TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!The Pentagon must be ...THIS IS TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!<BR/><BR/>The Pentagon must be a place where many assholes come to hide.
