You may find out, when

very few,

will go and die defending them. But when the fire is put out they go their
own way.
Too cynical to my way
of thinking.
One of our staunchest
allies since WW I is Great Britain. Still, they were on our hit list, along
with Canada, during the years between WW I and WW II, when they had a naval
alliance with Japan. But that folded in the
1930s.
Australia has been one
of our staunchest allies since 1942, when they told Churchill to hit the
bricks, they were going to look to Washington for their
leadership.
Since WWII, Japan has
been a staunch ally and trading partner. That has qualifications to be sure.
But they have supported the US since then.
Then there are the
NATO allies who, with but few exceptions, have stood by the United States,
even when the US didn't stand by them -- e.g. the Suez War in 1956 when the
US stood against the Brits, French and Israel.
But speaking of fickle
allies, none of them has been as bad as we have seen under the Bush
administration, which seems to be ready to tear up all alliances to fight
the war against terrorists, and most especially in Bush's fixation on
getting rid of Saddam Hussein. It goes against every rule of national
alliances since there first were national alliances.

This is because the war
with Sadam has nothing to do with the US. It has to do with the Bush
family, and extended Famiies i nthe US and Middle East. Meaning the
control of Oil. Which all the countries in Europe, China, Indian and Europe
have the same interest.
We have a golden opportunity with Aghanastan to fix up a messed up country
that is between China, India, Russia and the Middle East. It has been
the hardest country in the world to conquer. Genshis Khan avoided it
becuse of massive losses and credibility to his Reign.
We can rebuild that country which will casue all the other countries to
step up to modern economic and political policies. They would be a
valued and appreciative country . It will take a while but done right we
have the control.
In fact Heck with Sadan.. we have not been able to prove a single issue
that he was responsible for 9/11. Nor that he is harboring any
vast quantities of weaponry. Our country has 1000 times more power
then he does and we behave as if we are worried.
Our country has its own major low radiation dirty bombs that we have not
cleaned up from the Manhattan Project to Trashing Low Radiation Medical
material and over the country. Yuka Mountain is our first attempt to try
and get some of it contained.
Today we still have massive radiation pockets from the nuclear fall out
from years of Nuclear Testing. Two major major examples are increases
Thyroid failure and Lukemia and other cancers.
Interesting the USA did not have anywhere near the Allied resistance when
Bill Clinton was in power. Now every country other then England are against
our policies. Even then in England they have having a a monster fight
over whether they should support us or not.
Much of this distrust comes from the last war in Iraq when the US threw
away the Golden Goose.
On top of this these countries are warry of the
last election process of the Selection of GWb, our deceptive accounting
practices, corrput political officials, corrupt business managers, declining
economy, crashing stock market, commitment in Afghanastan and the great
political payback program by the Bush admininstration. We are deficit
spending, education and constrution and other infrastructure programs are
being curtailed, we are building a new governemt ageny to give the President
Dictatorial powers. Now tell me who and how is going to FUND this Wag the Dogs
Tail war on IRAQ. Then there is Homeland Defense..
THis administration has reduced our collection of revenue, and increased
our project budget by a $trillion dollars. Already citizens, small
and medium business are experiencing new user Fees that Former Senator Bob
Dole implemented to keep the budget close.
Korea was doeable because we had balancing budget and lot of left over WW2
equipment. Fighting the war was mostly a logistical cost, not a production
cost. The only country that will give us access to Iraq is Turkey and
that is if we forgive $5billion of loans and a lot of other stuff not told in
the news. BTW these were loans so they can buy American war equipment.
Before we go after the world Terrorists we have to go after our own
first. That will take a long time because we have lost our Honor and
Credibility to build and maintain honest Business and Political Systems.
If we plan to support one of our alies or have them support us we have to
give them REASON to do so. Not because we will pay them a bunch of money
to go along with us.
Oh.. one note worthy point of interest. WE are SO Terrorized by Terrorist.
The FBI was told of an operation in Fairfax VA of a Islamic Group that the
Fairfax Police department discovered a complete and Large Cell
Operation.. They did nothing.
Though it was not their duty between the Boston, MA and Fairfax, VA police
they took they responsibility of closing this loop. Please do not ask me
any questions, just check out the newpapers. During this research
something is going where all attempts to investigate the direct access to 9/11
have been stopped.
