Hey SDAI,

Your thinly veiled excursions into a solution for the Middle East, perhaps Europe and anyone else who happens to disagree with us, is rather bullish and reeks of elitism, enforced by nuclear power.

>"The Chinese link to Bin Laden is becoming increasingly well documented and the reason China is even playing along with the USA is because they are complicit."

Oh please, like Bush & Co. didn't give Bin Laden his start? That's well documented too. "Do as I say and not as I do?"
There's a little hypocrisy going on here.

>"China's youth has no love lost for the US - despite their increasingly capitalistic underpinnings to their economy."

They are a country unto themselves.
(Most countries are). I am trying to figure out what you mean about their youth not caring much for the USA....this sounds a little inflammatory.

>"Jealousy of the US way of life is everywhere. It manifests in the petty way nations address this issue - from Australia where sports figures say 'we had it coming' to France where students chant pro- Bin Laden songs."

I get World Press and this issue contained close to a hundred articles and editorials from AROUND THE WORLD, and a good portion mentioned the ramifications of our foreign policies, not to mention our arrogance and the use of military intervention when we couldn't get what we wanted by any other means.
It had NOTHING to do with jealousy.
We are not perfect you know. We should listen to some of the criticism and change the way we do business. According to your plan, we're taking over, come hell or high water.

>" The middle east is a firestorm....."

Not yet, it's a melting pot of Islamic peoples with every right to be on this planet and you and I do. Certainly there are radicals in EVERY country.......it doesn't mean we can't let their peoples live their lives.

>"We may very well see Tactical Nuclear Engagement Techniques [(TNT) or (TeNeTs) depending upon which acronym you prefer ;-)

Your smiley face is out of place here.
How can you smile and laugh when you use this suggestion. Are you being careless?

"> and the middle east will realize that he who holds the nukes is king."

If we step in and back up a country with nukes, it too will come back to bite us in the ass with the world's changing loyalties. Or, we may have the option to obliterate a country because it HAS the nukes. We shouldn't be getting THAT chummy with Russia or China because their loyalties are split too. MONEY is their #1 friend and ally. They'll go and do what is most profitable to them and their best interests. And why shouldn't they?
WE DO!

Starting the use of nuclear weapons in todays crazy world, is VERY, VERY dangerous for us. It could turn into a free-for-all and you know it. If you don't, you should. Pakistan and India are on the fence and they could turn either way.

>"All nations which defy the US and declare war against us in word and/OR actions - these nations will meet 'infinite justice' sooner rather than later."

Well, actions I can understand, but WORD??
Who's the "enemy"?
What's with the word "DEFY"?
You can't go around with that attitude young man, lest you get that chip knocked off your shoulder.....;~)
If you haven't noticed, not everybody agrees with us and our policies.
Now we're going to start to bully those who don't?
And if they don't, they'll suffer from our infinite justice??

>"In a nutshell, primitive peoples and mentalities can be allowed to ruin the planet for the rest."

This is the comment that prompted this response. It is sooooooo elitist, are you sure you aren't German and believe in this ultimate Aryan race?
We need an international coalition to police the terrorist groups, not just start bumping off "primitive peoples and mentalities" .

>"If I were a middle-eastern leader - I would be praying my nation is not just beaded green glass marbles - with automated oil refineries sitting on the surface. "

So, they'll be nuked to ground level, and Cheney will go in and automate his new oil wells? Just go in and take what we want?

>"The planet builders made this world - the great civilizations and laws and buildings are our accomplishments..."

BS
Every country has it history, it's great civilizations, it's laws and buildings. Ours may appear to be better, but then our young civilization has not had a chance to fall yet. (but it's on track.....)
These people and civilizations have just as much right to be here as we do, they are no better or worse. Islam and its people take up a good portion of this planet. Are we getting ready to repeat some history here, like we did with the Jews?

I think we need an international court, however Bush is against that and prefers to be his own World Judge and Jury.
Chances are, he knows the US would be indited for past indiscretions and policies.
