Ok, so let's assume for a moment that the US economy is linked very closely to the massive amounts of money that we spend on the military. This is true. Many towns would collapse without their military bases or boeing plants producing weapons for the US government. This is a form of market subsidy. However we, in our own self righteousness say that other countries cannot have either direct market subsidies OR a large military system like the one that we have. This puts us in a very advantageous position. We have a built in way of moderating and supporting the market economy directly while we undermine any way for other nations to do so with their own economies. This is obvious hypocracy that america has been practicing for years. What's good for us isn't always good for others. In a just world we could look at the american policies in an objective way without having to make exceptions for ourselves in every sense. Mandela Condemns U.S. Policy Toward Iraq Mandela tells it like it is, I will check to see if this story makes it out to the press at large. I think seeing somebody like Mandela calling Bush an idiot might help people that have until now not seen too many national leaders bold enough to say what they really feel about the US and the President. Its interesting to note that Turkey is considering letting the US send troops into that country to fight against Iraq while the majority of the population of Turkey is opposed to the invasion of Iraq. So why do they do it? Simple, the Us has made it known that certain financial aid will be cut off if they don't cooperate with us now. I don't know about you but telling someone that you will cut them off if they don't do what they want sounds like a bribe to me. They could always say no and not get the money. But with the US more and more holding the global purse strings then its hard to say no to the money you need to help your economy. simple as that! bruceblog@peoplepc.com | |
