Hello deepbluehalo@earthlink.net (Brian Phillips),
In reference to your comment:
I'm a Jew. I don't believe in much, in the religious sense, but I don't
believe that pacifism can be a one way street. So here is my view on the
listed attitude. Its a typical Waspy attitude, that surely persisted before
world war two, and has continued unto this hour. As far as I am concerned,
the blame Israel crowd is largely the same, whatever the protestations to the
contrary, as those who knew about Hitler's ultimate goals, (like the US State
Department) and didn't give a shit anyway; and frankly don't today, and
secretly enjoy what happened...so be it.
The USA can change its foreign policy to whatever it wants. Maybe it can be
squeezed, but I don't think it you can squeeze it to surrender. So, do your
worst. Enjoy your OPEC oil, and remember all those Saudi billionaires who
fund the Al Qedas Movement, because next time they'll use sarin, or
strontium, or smallpox. But hey, what's more important then a nice portfolio?
è Negative ma'am. The United States can do just fine by
è opening up Alaska and contenting itself with the
è petroleum rescources here in the Western
è Hemisphere. In truth that's likely one reason why
è liberals want to conserve Alaska (regardless of what
è rights and wishs of Alaskan state citizens) and lock
è up the state in a straitjacket of Wetlands Laws and
è various pseudo-Green nonsense. An America that
è utilized it's own rescources and those of it's natural
è (geographically adjacent) allies would not NEED to be
è playing realpolitik on the behalf of Tel Aviv (and would
è not need the "Excuse" of middle east oil). I suspect
è Europe might have to pay it's own way a bit more
è then..... What's weird is fossil fuel economies are on
è their last surge before they are abandoned...why are
è we "saving" supplies in the Western Hemisphere at the
è cost of American lives? cheers, Brian
