ParticipantYour comments put the appropriate scale to the issue. To think that our issues in the middle east are about pulling out of Iraq or not ,as one would think from watching the presidential debate is rediculous.
The same old striving of empires, over what has been one of the most the most important pieces of real estate on the planet for thousands of years is what is at root of all this strife. The U.S. is and has been simply taking the baton from G.B and her/our allies in western europe in the struggle.That will be on network news tonight completely free of propaganda.
Maybe if the military branches put recruiting stations in La Jolla, Del Mar, CV and places like that throughout the U.S. won’t need a draft?

ParticipantWe only invade weak practically defenseless countries.
These practically defenseless countries are at particular risk if they have oil and/or are close to our allies’ nuclear and conventionally armed enemies. These invasions and occupations are in large part about protecting them and pretection of trade and transport for the western collective imperial team of which the U.S is captain.
The U.S. could probably shoot down a Nuke aimed at this country,especially since they were removed from Cuba but Israel, Spain and England etc. are at greater risk. Enemy nuclear countries know that nukes don’t make the balance of power equal if in the end they can be nuked into oblivion. If western allies let Pakistan know that they will be nuked from some comination of Israel, India, Western Europe, Afghanistan, Iraq, the gulf of Oman and the air above, I don’t think they will think too long on the nuclear option.
On the other hand the threat of a hand carried nuclear devices being employed in important places in western civilization or other “terrorist acts” may start to level the playing field. Let’s hope all these warmongers don’t level the earth.It is amazing that we hear so much more about global warming than this.
