Are we the bad guys?

The United States of America is my country and we do have a goal to dominate the world through Capitalistic trade. I think everyone can agree on that. Our Country presently has troops stationed in 70% of the countries around the globe and some new ones are in the works. That's not supposition, that's fact and can be verified.

I call it stabilizing the area so we can trade. We provide the troops, which are the best in the world and this keeps Nations in line.

We work with the United Nations as long as they go along with us, but we still want to make sure we stay on top and that means we deny the Kyoto Treaty and invade Iraq (even though France, Germany, Russia and China objected because they were doing business with Iraq under the table) to stay in the lead.

China is going to be a problem, because they will not want to play ball by our rules. They have the 100 million man army that the whole world will go up against at the battle of Armageddon. Anyone who won’t sign away their country through the World Bank/World Trade Organization will be labeled trouble makers (take Cuba/Iran/N. Korea for instances).

Whether my well-meaning Democratic liberal friends will admit it, or not, we have a very good life here and I enjoy it. I don’t mind people getting rich(er) and I try to make as much money as I can and buy whatever I can afford for my family and even some cool stuff for myself occasionally. My only defense against the misuse of our current government is my vote and studying to keep myself educated. I wish it weren’t so. I wish it was my dream world of 20 years ago.

After I’ve said all that, I want to say that every kingdom, empire, and ruling faction has had the same idea of controlling their world. We do it through controlling the world’s trade and by loans. Loans which we will eventually collect by force for any reason we need to justify. I’m not a fricken nutjob, or a Commie, Socialist, Fascist, or someone who wants to overthrow our government. This thing is bigger than all of us and in the meantime, I am going to keep reading and learning and keep my eye on the world.
