jlb684: Did you really mean Kissinger? I assume you meant the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, didn't you? Kissinger is still actively out there in the diplomatic arena, and so you may have actually meant him....but all he can do now is offer a powerful lecture, perhaps, but not "sort it out".


No, dear. I did mean Kissinger. Yes, that old unassuming guy who can barely talk Kissinger.
As in my other post, I say again, can people really be THAT naive about global policy and what makes nations tick?

I'm truly not naive about global policy. This is why I did give you the benefit of the doubt that you DID mean Kissinger, for I am aware of his still-heavy influence. I just was wanting to be clear that you did indeed mean him. handshake

Oh! Then accept my apologies and let's have a drinklaugh

Which is most important in a library, all the books or all the authors who wrote those books? International policy is like a library with hundreds of books ( countries ) but we can only understand those countries when we know who write their policies ( authors ).
Forgive the imagery, I know it sucks

A drink and an interesting discussion.
Would if I could.
Off to work now...another day of foreign policy matters awaits.

RayfromUSA: I think it was meant to be ridiculous.
Bush was the idiot "bad-cop".
One of his major functions (besides starting wars and killing millions of people) was to be so grotesquely unlikeable that Obama would look good by comparison (at least long enough to get into office and get his programs up and running).

People supported Obama,
not on his own record,
but because he seemed to be very different from Bush.

But he's really not that different after all.


o crap..it means more works for me to find some suitable cursing words for obama.doh

Well, in fact, since they're interchangeable, you can still use the ones you used for Bush, and Clinton and Bush and Reagan and Carter and so on and so forth... Basically, they're all the same. Different wheels on the same car.

Im not trying to be difficult , but arent we still theoretically at war with North Korea as only a ceasefire was called , there was never an official end to the war.

I do remember reading recently in a Time magazine that it is still a volatile region the zone between North & South Korea with shots fired on e regular basis.

Hell, we have a mini-war going on on the border with Mexico too, does that mean Mexico and the U.S are at war?

But what you say is correct of course. Only we're at war with whomever the Globalists SAY we're at war...Otherwise, it's called "setting up a Democracy"laugh

BClady: IMHO North Korea has nothing the US wants, except nuclear warheads and they're all aimed directly at the US. I don't think even GWB was that stupid.

well..if those few "nuts" in the republican party include two "nuts" of mine and two "nuts" of yours, then this great country is safe. But if those few nuts include the likes of Bush, Chenny, Carl Rove, and Rumsfeld, this great country is still screwed up big timedunno

Don't take my responses the wrong way though... Nations are like people, born, young, strong, cocky, wise and ...senilelaugh I believe our government is getting a little senile in its age... Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Yeah, well, the thing about learning is that the student actually listen to the teachers and in this case the teachers should be the countries of the 'old world' and Asia... I really don't see the U.S learning from France or Indialaugh Too much vanity, too much cockiness... And when a student doesn't want to learn because he thinks he knows better and then start being a bully, usually he's expelledlaugh
