I agree and disagree. The United States did not intervene in Latin America to control the price of bananas...and the war against Islam, I believe, is only coincidentally about oil... Republicans can't get into office by telling the truth of what they plan to do once there. They can't admit that they're all about increasing the means by which the wealthy can get wealthier. So they talk to us about Gay marriage...about abortion...about attack by terrorists...or Communists etc. But their real aim is to roll back the changes brought about through the Constitution...which they also can't admit up front. I agree with you about god cop bad cop....Obama will be the good cop and there will come another bad cop...and then another good one and so on. The actual goal of American policy is to grow as powerful as possible while not paying full price. In America bridges, schools, roads etc are falling apart. Thrity years of give-away tax breaks to the wealthy has resulted in not enough money to maintain the country...we're like a third world country now where the government can barely afford to build a building but has nothing left to maintain it with. Cutting taxes is one come-on...even though the acumulative effect will be disasterous...another pretext has been ENEMIES. I venture to say that if there wasn't a drop of oil in Muslim countries the United States would still have put the Bush Doctrine in place...we would still have raged over the MidEast, not with the intention of spreading democracy and freedom...but to torture...abuse...kill and make sure there will be a growing number of enemies, even as they kill a few of them off...so they can use them as the one sure means to get into office....because when they get into office, they can set about making the kinds of changes and tricks which form the core of their program. --------------------- |
