What Bobert says about our trailing other nations is easy to arrive at look at the international stats, also look at how far behind we are on infant mortality rates. we compete with 3rd world nations but that's not of importance here.

It's always struck me strange that people don't want to put themselves in the shoes of others. I can just imagine how Iranians feel about us & not at all feel as if they would think that if only we could see things their way how much better off we'd be. Why wouldn't they, they are no less intelligent than we, probably no less religious either. They probably swallow as much shit as we do when it comes to what the governments are feeding all of us. Except we are looking to find a way to control the mid their nationas well as the surrounding areas.
De-stablilize Iran, we'd love to run it if they'd let us. We have no business at all being in the Mid East any more that they have being here & until they attempt an invasion we have no reason to be setting foot on foriegn soil.

What's so hard about that. We aren't there for the good of the Iraqi people, we aren't there to stop them from invading us, we aren't here because of WMD or the unfact they could've nuked us in 45 minutes & we aren't there to bring in a new system of government, unless you think they're better off with civil war than they were under Saddam. We're in the business for ourselves & haven't got the right. It's so much in our business intrests that we often end up spliting nations in half just so that we can do business. We don't mind at all toppling nations for our on interests, we are neither saints nor saviours, we are a nation of corporations & will proceed like a corporation using tactics of mergers, spying, hostile takeovers, downsizing, reorginaizing, bankrupties, etc. What makes anyone think that we give a flying fuck what happens to those that aren't our allies when we care little enough for our so called friends, which in reality ever since WWII have become associates that trade favors in benifit of commerce. The only down side to the way we operate is that we can't function as well in the ability to govern for & by the people as well when we run it like a corporation, the people suffer as well as those we roll over. "THERE IS NO LONGER A UNION", when government runs like a business, there is no longer a stewart of & for the people, there is no longer a corporate interest in those that make it funtion except at the high end where the management is raping & abusing that which feeds it. "We ARE WATCHING OUR GOVERNMENT EAT ITSELF" & when it's done don't be schocked & awed by the amount of shit it's gonna leave behind.
