Been reading Thomas Barnett's book...
The Pentagon's New Map, war and Peace in the 21st Century.

Barnett states that the US will never win the war on terror, in fact, we are creating more terrorists. The 21st century wars are about 'economics.' The monster of a Military the US has and continues to expand is beginning to look like the old Soviet military; rusted and dead. We don't have any monsters to fight and that is why bush's simplistic view of the world can only be measured in 'good and evil.'

The US and stubborn Cold War Worriers now in power, tried to make China into the old Soviet regime; the enemy. It has not worked because China 'Outfoxed' the US in the new world order of Economics. China learned from Russia's mistakes of starving their people in order to be toe-in-toe with the US military. Russia's people today may have freedom but they are still tremendously poor and many disillusioned with democracy.

Shamefully, today the US is funded by China...and China is on their way to make the pride and joy of the US, automobile manufacturing into a thing of the past. China will be importing new fuel efficient cars that can run on new technologies, getting rid of the OPEC Saudi czars and diminishing the investments of the American oil companies, and their political supporters.

The US, the leader in all new technologies and innovations...has Fucked up! Only a new president, a new direction, a new Vision will set us free.
