  The reaction to the current trend in the leading World Countries decline in Economic, Technological and World Military Power is to by pass the UN using ??? Coalition of the Willing??? increase NATO member ship, Pre Emp Nuclear Strikes all brutal, blunt force methods, that are Killing innocent Babies, Women and Men. Our World must use Statesmanship, Dialog, the UN, to resolve issues not the escalating expansion of military egression and power. ???The Law is the Number of soldiers on the ground??? is no longer valid in the year 2008. IRAQ, KOSOVO, ISRAEL, are prove of that. The yardstick of Wit and Common Sense is the new measure of power. Will and can America survive and prosper in this new environment.
  PS. Holding on to our MANUFACTURING SECTOR , stopping all outsourcing, curtailing all IMPORTS, Sell more than we Buy ??? be very selective of what and how much we sell would be start towards peace.???

"It oughta be so damned EASY to make them do what we want, 'cause We Are The Apex of Human Development -- what's the hold-up here?" So has said one great power after another for the last thousand years -- and one after another they fail. But I guess every new Big Kid on the Block has to take his shot at The Last Stop on the Super-Power Super-Highway ...
