OH, in case people have forgotten or the smoke and mirror is pulling the wool over their eyes ....We in US are not any safer now than we were right after or before 9-11. Lets not forget that. In fact Bush's shenanigans has increased the likelihood of yet another attack here in our home.

Don't say I didn't tell you so.........

The developed nations "national interests" are in conflict with third world's national interests when the "interests" are based on market forces. The oil producer's national interests are not compatible to West or US's interests. One needs the commodity that other one produces. Fox and chicken will never have the same lot in life.

What we need is a clear set of global rules that protects the powerless's interests. Otherwise the powerful will take and take and take until there is no more. Meanwhile the natural selection forces will deepen the cultural gap to a flash point. When all these interactions will be reset and reworked with roles reversed. So, lets break the cycle and move forward not backward!!!!!OK

Developed world's economy is essentially based on cheap free flowing oil for the past 50 years and that is the only reason they must invade, kill, control, and otherwise disregard oil producer's own national and regional interests. Particularly as the oil supply has tightened in that last twenty years the tolerance for any distributions has diminished. That is why US had to raise an army to secure the oil fields. The West and increasingly China and India can not afford to allow "true market" forces dictate the oil price. The supply and demand factor is being circumvented by force of arms and outright thievery.

As I have said before the oil price based on market conditions should be around $200 to $300 a barrel not 40 to 50.

All the manipulations that are going on in the oil producing countries is to ensure steady and cheap supply of oil. Otherwise they will be treated like the African continent...........Let them fend for themselves.

This whole bullshit smoke and mirror job about FREEDOM and democracy is that!!

American people specially the heartland (red States) need to know that so when their taxes is killing people and those people lashout they should not say "why they hate us".

The answer to primitive attacks on weaker nations is for those threatened developing countries to find a deterrent and hence the "bomb".. What will defuse this escalating and scary trend is for nations with the bomb to accept developing and poor nations grievances and not just branding them as terrorists. The capital monopoly by these nations must end or else!!!

Here is another example of what US policy of preemptive, illegal, and selfserving attacks on other nations will do. North Korea has declared that they the nukes and are ready for Bush. Now, see if the Condi can get out of that jail!!!!

Is the cheap oil supply worth all this? Next will be Iran declaring they have the nukes. That goes the peace and prosperity for everyone.

As I said before having the bomb changes the plight of the nation. Just look at what Condi Rice said today, " North Korea will not be attacked or invaded and they should come back to the six way talks....Please".

Bottom line - this faith based president has brought the worst of every so called rouge nation in the world. I wont be surprised if Cuba declares that they have the Nukes as well. Bush just knows how to get that out. I am not saying that all these issues have been created by Bush, but he is able to bring it to surface. Kerry would have tried to decompress the matter and find ways to solve the issues behind the closed doors and not SCAR the BEJUSIS out of the rich American and Europeans.

I have read Aljazira and other major so called anti-American Arab media for over a year now, and I'm convinced that they are nothing but US government created news outlets to diffuse Arab anger and sidestep the real issues they are facing. That is US control of all the governments in the region. These news outlets are designed to give a superficial voice to the disenfranchised Arabs and provide a "pressure release valve" like mechanisms to avoid what the Arab population ought to be demanding. That is for US and EU not to interfere in their internal affairs.

Real independents will come through expulsion of American and European presents in the region in any shape or form while building indigenous civil societies that selects its government to serve Arab cultural and economical interests not US or multinationals. In most cases Arab or Middle East interests are in conflict with EU and US ever increasing need for oil and domination that stems from that need. The west likes to monopolize the oil so the price and supply can be guaranteed at all times. They have created a huge dependent monster of a economy for themselves and can't avoid needing to control the oil supply.

Once Arabs really decide for Arabs then Middle East much like SE Asia or China can begin to deal (do business) with Europe and US on a more equal footing (not the same footing for a while yet!). That means they can sell their oil to build an Arab economy based on her culture and societal needs not stupid highways to nowhere, ports, monuments to kings, and military hardware planned and built by US and EU firms.

At that time Arabs will be able to create the environment to reach economic independence and be a useful global partner as opposed to "rag heads that need to be taken care of". Then no one would have to worry about terrorism or radical Islamists.
I know this is a huge weight to be lifted, but we must "AIM HIGH", or brace ourselves for more attacks, war, killings, invasions, counter attacks,.....!!!!

As much as US loathes foreigners its economy is 60% dependent on foreign sales, we need to wake up from this nationalistic bipolar dream when our existence so much depends on the world!!! I like to remind the rednecks, heartland reds, gun lovers,....That the era of wild west is over, WAKE UP man!!!! You now are part of the world, start to act like it.

Treatment of Guantanamo and other prisoners will come back to haunt us much like our foreplay with Osama in 80's.

Here is another REMINDER to the heartland that voted for BUSH...Palestinian resistance to occupation is not terrorism, try not to confuse this issue because that will also come back to haunt us as rest of the oppressed people will be convinced that US does not stand for the rights of oppressed and has continually sided with the oppressor and the occupiers. Much like our support for Saudi king, Mobarak, Hussein, unquestioned support for Israel.....Etc.


Ten years from now don't tell me I didn't tell you!!!!?????

Middle East in general and Arabs in particular must reach an understanding that they have to take control of their destiny and not allow outsiders decide for them by default( their indifference). That means they must clean house first, begin the process of removing rulers, dictators, unpatriotic figure heads. Until that happends they will have to keep going through this cyclical invasion, attacks, and manipulation by powers engaged in geopolitics for their own good and benefits.

No one gives a shit about you!!!!!

Rich western powers do not care about the poor and the free press here cares even less. IS anyone reporting on what happened to all the pledges from rich nations to help tsunami, African AIDS, Afghanistan, and other humanitarian needs. I bet not even a fraction of the amounts spinster pledged have ever gone to anyone EVER.

That is how imperial powers operate and that was how colonial powers operated before them.

"FREE ELECTIONS" under occupation doesn't work. What works is occupiers desire to legitimize occupation. You shock and awe then try to win heart and mind, are they stupid????Or we've got the bomb and can do whatever.

Resistance is basic human nature, Bush can not wish it away!!!
