It is all over for teh US, Osama has won? The pitfalls of the US SS (Homeland security)
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/22/opinion/22FRIE.html
So, had some time while the processor usage is over 100% and I just have to wait (oops finished now) for the processing. So I started reading CNN, and was happy to see that at least SOME people see what I noticed earlier, see above link. 'Brain drain?' no I would call it brain lock! Now it will all get worse, the US deficit, if nobody wants to buy US anymore then it is all over. (Other countries like Japan and China MUST buy US loans to finance the ever growing US deficit. If they do not, because their own economy is much more attractive to invest in, like in the case of China, then US will end up a third world country.) But I give it to Cheney, the oil price will be higher then ever. Well done. But you may have to sell your house and move into a cheaper one with 400 % higher mortgage rates. No problem, all for the fatherland. LOL JP |

Now China, India, Brazil, and other places are learning to use technology, create wealth, and move up from impoverished agrarian societies. Africa and the Middle East are next. If that means that America is "loosing its edge", so what? Most people here have everything they could reasonably need, and more. America benefits, morally and materially, from a healthy, democratic, competitive world. Some people, including Cheney I suspect, understand this. John |

Indeed US could benefit from some morale, and democracy would help them too. http://www.commondreams.org/ picture top left, why this is forbidden to show? Cheney has a heart connected with oil pipes. Someone will have to pinch him to see what color comes out. It IS al tar is not it ;-)? |

Good grief, I've lived here for some years and the US is more liberal, more accepting, and more democratic than it has ever been. While France wallows in anti-muslim and anti-Jewish racism, I live in a city that has no racial majority, is 20% gay, whose high schools and colleges are majority asian, has three Spanish-language and two asian television stations (plus one more I can't figure out, Croatian or something) and everybody around here gets along great. Given all the immigration and change the US is going through, we're not doing bad at all. Morale is fine. John |

message ... http://www.commondreams.org/ picture top left, why this is forbidden to show? Duh, probably for the same reason it was forbidden to show the bodies left over from Operation Market Garden. The American people might have lost interest in liberating your country. Some Americans used to think Europeans were ungrateful. Now some of us think you're unworthy. Cheney has a heart connected with oil pipes. Someone will have to pinch him to see what color comes out. It IS al tar is not it ;-)? And Vice President Truman was a haberdasher who imported Dutch hats. Seriously though, I don't understand how so much of reality goes unnoticed in some circles. France is now re-engaged in subjugating north Africa and support for dictators, while we make every effort to do the opposite in Iraq. France and Germany wanted to make deals with Saddam, which would have brought them plenty of oil, and we could have done the same if oil is what we wanted. The necessity of overthrowing the Baathists was recognised by President Clinton, who wasn't known for ties to the oil industry. But your kind of empty rhetoric must be effective on the masses who know none of this, or who choose to overlook it. |
