POLITICS OF DIVISION : Are we really a Superpower?

[Cannikin]

"The consensus worldwide is that the present White House talks too much and has created a division of people and a division of politics. The consequences of this blatant attitude of defiance have come to haunt us all over the world. At home most people do not agree with the White House. "

"There is no Superpower in the sense that one Power can do as it pleases.

The most important element that defies the notion of Superpower is manpower and if that is used as a measure - the Nation of China rules supreme. If one used a measure such as being neutral then Switzerland can lay back and laugh at all the mistakes we have and are making in Iraq.

The power to strike back to kill and destroy, as a method to get what one wants has been relegated to the back burner by civilization because history tells us - it does not work. War and killing others without just cause has never worked and will never work. "

"I have been to Iraq and I have been to Afghanistan. We chose to go to Afghanistan and had a cause. To date we have not adhered to the Mission Objective in Afghanistan. We chose to desert Afghanistan and go to Iraq. Now we want to spread that hate into Iran. When will this madness stop. "
