The Fearful Superpower

"Thus global capitalism is producing its own well-funded anticapitalists. Environmental degradation proceeds in much of the world on a colossal scale. And these problems get exacerbated by changes in climate, rainfall and habitation. Scarcities of water and wheat and other grains might turn out to be the fault lines of the future as populations move in search of secure and arable land."

It appears as if the author's objection is not to fear itself, but rather to its object? Hmmm...seems fear mongering cuts both ways, now, doesn't it?

Zakaria is a pure internationalist. For these people America is the keel that keeps the world from capsizing, and it is nothing more than that. If real free trade does not exist except within the borders of the US, that???s fine, pretend it does anyway. For Fareed and his kind America is the engine that runs the world and they will write anything, say anything to keep that engine running, no matter how ruinous becomes the yearly trade deficit. I thought his article merely another left-wing screed until I got to the part where he thinks China may one day take up the ???mantle??? of world leadership; then, I began to wonder how many more Zaharias there are out there.

The current admistration has made its share of mistakes but pursuing and attempting to eliminate fundamental terrorists is the right call...check out www.obsessionthemovie.com and you decide! The liberal minds can't seem to get their brains around the fact that the terrorists simply want us to convert to their brand of faith or die.

The 'author' of this article is a bigot and an idiot.

IF WE LOOK BACK OBJECTIVELY AT THE HISTORY OF EMPIRES, AND THE U.S.A. IS AN EMPIRE, THERE IS ONE COMMON THREAD THAT BINDS THEM TOGETHER AND IT'S NOT THAT THEY ALL DOMINATED THE GLOBE MILITARILY, ECONOMICALLY AND SUCH, BUT IT'S THAT THEY ALL MET THEIR DEMISE AS A RESULT OF THE ARROGANCE, THE DISREGARD AND THE IMPUNITY EMPIRES BEGIN TO OPERATE WITH.
AS SCARY AS IT IS, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF "DUBBYA" THESE TRAITS HAVE BECOME MORE APPARENT THAN EVER BEFORE WITH THE U.S.A... EVEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE VERY RIGHTS GRANTED TO THE (NATURAL BORN) CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY THROUGH THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE ARE BEING COMPROMISED (PATRIOT ACT).IN THE LAST 7 YEARS WE HAVE DESIMATED PRACTICALLY EVERY MEANINGFUL FOREIGN RELATIONSHIP WE'VE SPENT THE LAST DECADE BUILDING "AMERICA NEEDS TO REFOCUS IT'S FOREIGN POLICY" THE TRUEST WORDS I'VE HEARD TODAY.

The herd narratives from pundits like Zareed Zakaria that portray America's leadership as ascending or receding once again find themselves lagging behind events. President Bush and the American GI are ascending in the world, but the clique keep clicking yesterdays news. Having been burned from their qualified support of the Clintons' and Bush's war against Iraq, now they must stubbornly adhere to cheap-shotting Bush, while pretending to be taking the world view. The American GI's role in the Middle East will prove to be a truly progressive microcosm of how peace and prosperity can be achieved through the elimination of tyranny and terror, but Mr. Zakaria will have to wet his finger some more before he feels that wind blowing right under his nose.

Breaking Story:

Conflict in the Middle East.
Going badly for the Palestinians.
Islamic militants without armies resort to terrorist tactics to fight on.
They strike America for favoring the Israelies with economic benefits and military hardware.
9/11.
Zionists in America use 9/11 to put America on a path to eliminate the threat to Israel by military force.
The use of overwhelming military force against an Islamic nation state exascerbates the problem.
Discover that the problem is ideological and has no national identity nor any international boundaries.
Civilian casualties and collateral damage win terrorists new friends.
We have in fact gone as far as fear can carry us.
Now we must rely upon methods intended to heal and restore and reconstruct the social positives.
And we must redeploy political power in America to favor those who truly put America first.

Fear saves a man,is a wellknown saying.Those who fear not,progress not.But it is a fear of different kind ,not discussed by Mr.Zakriya.It is fear of loosing the dominance all over the world not the fear of becoming poor.Moreover no progress in any field of life is piossible without competition or animosity.Those who don,t have an enemy or its fear can not prepare themselves for the future ventures.So what is being popularized is correct and eye opener for the nation.

The world is a big allegory to evangelicals. The devil and hell have been replaced with despots (devil) we must overthrow and mushroom clouds (hell) we must avoid. The constitutiion is their bible and founding fathers are the apostles. Bush is god I guess.

The us is led by evangelical movement in country who have converted our constitution into some kind of bible, our finding fathers into apostles, and our military into missionaries who spread democracy around the world--places where there is the most resources. They lead by fear--not of the devil and hell, but of despots and mushroom clouds. These people think the world is a great big allegory. We need to get rid of them.

America has taken on the evangelical mindset because we have so many evangelicals in power now. They think we need to be "missionaries" to the rest of the world --spreading "democracy" . Nevermind that we only want to target our missionary soldiers on those countries that have the most resources that we need.

I served from early 79 escorted 79 hostages from Iran and then turned around and traind armed and funded the mujahideen and 100,000others with the S.A.S. I.M.I. and C.I.A till 83 when i bagged and tagged 241 Marines in Beruit and don't ever tell me im Army,its not safe to mess with a messed up mind or would feel good if you shok Bin-Laudens hand in the early 80s to have him do to us what he did don't ever question my intell or service. The missle system i reply to, is the same they have tried on many occations to hit the target in 2000, when it hit zip! It may work now but as long as parts read "Made in China" how could one say it will work in any battle to come and currently its all made somewhere else or the 2 billion we spend a day would come back to the American economy and alas it don't!!! I only use the word EX cause if it should be needed i will not follow anyones rules of engagement to get them out from my country!!! No rules just plain fun!

It is ironic the richest and most powerful country in the world spends billions of dollars fighting wars which they will win by military might only, not ideologically. In the hearts and minds of people all across the world, America has become a symbol of fear; a fear sparked by local inhibition to protect their natural resources from foreign exploitation. All Bush has to do is send two destroyer ships to any of the non-major power and alas, it's an invasion. If Bush can do it once in Iraq, what's to stop him from doing it again? He still has another whole year in office...who knows what he is capable of?
