Strick,

You make some good points. I do understand that it ain't all that simple. However, I do not underplay the role of business interests in the present American political structure. Groups like MJ 12 do concern me. Power elites concern me. And as to Gunboat Diplomacy, maybe the HAARP Project will replace both boats and guns. You have yourself a good day, Strick. I do enjoy the way you write, even if I don't always agree with your content. You argue well from your view of things.
