    Poland-US shield is an enigama.
    Shield against whom?
    Russia ? China ? India ? Iran ?Pakistan ?
    Whom is it going to shield ? Poland ? Former Soviet republics ? All of Europe ?
    If these questions are not answered , then it will result in Russia having a shield in SouthAmerica to protect its allies there.
    China will have a shield in NorthKorea to protect NorthKorea,China,Vietnam,Tibet,Hongkong,Macau.
    India can have a shield in the Himalayas to protect SouthAsia.
    Iran will erect a shield in the North to protect Iran, Iraq.
    Pakistan will have a shield at NWFP to protect Pakistan.

    More conquest??? By whom Russia or the United States?? If anyone in the United States honestly thinks that currently with all the domestic and foreign problems we face, we can also take on Russia should be sent to the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's sickening that people born with silver spoons talk all the b.s. but then the people born with wooden spoons have to fix the b.s.

    I agree with your entire assessment, only I don't exactly categorize Neoconservatives as "fascists" ( illegal aliens anyone? ), nor do I think Obama will answer to a different master. Obama has put on the yarmulke, just like Bush and Clinton. I am far enough to right of either red or blue that they both look blue, and both promote policies that are destructive to the health of a nation. 30 years from now we will NOT be a superpower, and it has everything to with whats different now from 50 years ago. Some things you might want to label "progress", and I won't debate on that, but it is what it is. Our country today is exactly the product of its own design.
