Obama's Global Game
We see him kissing royal dictators, smiling and shaking hands with leaders of Bush era rouge nations. The photo ops are nothing but window dressing because Bush way of kicking ass was getting out of hand. With 1.3 billion Muslims and another 3 billion or so die hard US haters things could have gotten ugly if neo-cons way had continued. Now comes Mr. Obama one of them at least looking like one of them. He will change tactics by charming axes of evil and terrorist supports.
In reality nothing has changed when it comes to US policy towards the world and its "national interest" far reaching need to facilitate its thirst for raw material and ever increasing need for larger markets. The changes in policy have to do with survival than real desire to make profound difference. Obama is after all a successful politician raised within the American system that is based on domination for its survival.
The market economy that is based on has to keep growing or otherwise will die. Growth at any cost is the foundation of the US social and economical framework. Smith-ian system can not survive on sustainability, if it stops growing it will collapse. The growth is not based on human values but mainly on economical accumulation which meas the only measure of success is when GDP percentage goes up. Capital has become the prime mover with the original purpose of human growth taking a back seat.
That is why leader of the so called free world Bush came out last year and asked "Fellow Americans" to not stop shopping!!!!
