World Without US Dominance

[Ivanovich]

Quote from nutmeg:

It doesn't seem that long ago, maybe the 70's, that countries with problems were trying to get the "west" involved. Smuggling out papers, pictures, even people to tell their story to western media.

America was looked upon to bring world wide attention and pressure on gov'ts re human rights, hunger, medical issues, injustice of every type.

We didn't ask to be the worlds police man, more like we stepped up to the plate, when no one else would.

Agreed. One of the reason Europe doesn't spend much on military is because the US does. Why should they when we step into everything and police it?

I say get out of all these places, pull back into a non-interference type of policy. One of the things I like most about Ron Paul's ideas.

Quote from jficquette:

Planet Earth without America would be ran by people like Hitler and stalin.

Interesting, who do you suppose would have financed Hitler & Stalin if not for America's Wall Street.

'Given what you have at the top level at the moment, it would seem that a little bit of 'experimentation' might be a fine idea.'

To elect somebody twice is not an experimentation. American public is foolish to say the least.

What Obama will do is this.............he will shun Hillary out of the Democratic nomination and then LOSE like a lame pig vrs Republican stalwarts like Guilliani and Romney and end result will be US PUBLIC WILL BE FOOLED AGAIN AND PAY LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS.

Mr. Obama, if you really love American then please stand on the side and hope Hillary chooses you as her VP.

Guilliani and Romney as VP combination can be very handful to beat and Mr. Obama is a new kid on the block who will get spanked and pushed aside fast.

Quote from RhinoGG:


listen you steaming turd, just because your pea-sized brain can't figure out that "We, the mother-fucking people" of this country have zero, to at best, very little control over what the hell policies are or are not made, you should'nt spout off like the asshole you truly are.

But whose fault is that you choose to sit back and do nothing while government becomes completely disconnected from the people whom it is supposed to serve?

True, but poor guy does not have many listeners.

What is the chance that Obama chooses Hillary as his VP and she accepts it................equal to George Bush calling his Iraq invasion a mistake!

Quote from bc303:

Colin Powell -
We defeated Fascism. We defeated Communism. We saved Europe in World War I and World War II. We were willing to do it, glad to do it. We went to Korea. We went to Vietnam. All in the interest of preserving the rights of people.

And theres half the problem, pretending all that was done for the interests of others or in the interests of preserving the rights of people.

Quote from MiniDowTrader:

According to globalsecurity.org, the United States will spend more on military in 2008 than the whole world combined...$623 billion to $500 billion. In 2006, 41% of U.S. taxes went to support military spending and the cost of past wars.
The United States is the most militarized country in the world but we are repeatedly told that we should fear the unknown and keep feeding the war machine.

Fear campaigns are still the most effective of all campaigns, because the uneducated and misinformed tend to believe them blindly. Now this is complete speculation, but would your government be at all inclined to keep the masses poorly educated?

Most of the candidates on both sides are standard corrupt politicians but Hillary is one of the worst by far. Why would you even want her, she does not even know how to tell the truth. Just because she is Democrat? Don't be so gullible.

It's all a show anyway, don't expect anything different from them that you do not see from the current administration. Ron Paul is the only REAL candidate who actually has significant support and would make a real difference.
