Lots of interesting points here and here are mine:
**Negative is right to say that EU has the potential to become the next world leader but that will not be under Blair cuz he is too Americanized as most of the British opinion. It would need a clear commitment form the British island to cut clean from the states...

** Also, the WW3 is not going to happen soon at least not against the Arabic word since they can only agree to disagree. It is in the interest of all pole of interest that they remain small player since the US, EU, Israel, and even China will not tolerate having just 1 oil producer dictating whatever price they want … so no worries there



**The fact that Bin Ladin is using religion to 'try' to become a martyr is true, but that will not be hard anymore since he will be executed as soon as he is found .... ( the latest trend for US security agencies is to have suspects extracted to friendly Arabic countries Egypt, Morocco, Kuwait where human right are not enforced.... and then put to questioning .... is that respect of human right ....

**Ladyburg since we both have lived in different countries (4 personally on 3 continents) you will know that to have that many people agreeing on the same topics without knowing each other there must be some truth to it . Also, the recruitment of 'palestinian freedom fighters' or terrorists as most Americans prefer is made the more easily when you look at the us help to isreal . I am sure that a couple of F16's can deter that dumb ass to blow himself up in a bus.
As far as the biggest brainwasher well the CIA trained well bin ladin too bad they did not clean up the mess then …

**bshver I don’t think that GW need a political victory for irak since it has high rankings, he mostly wants it for economic reasons and because he try to hurt daddy. As far as the nukes it’s true they wish they did….

** Us are being judged on many factors, one of them is the imf: the us will lend you money if that country buys us goods what if they are not the cheapest? Doesn’t matter
Same things as for subventions, they criticize the world about state help, tariff, and customs when they do exactly the same.




In short to resume my opinion to every reign there is a start, a high, and a fall. In which phase is the US that is for you to answer.

To great power comes great responsibilities and for that I’ll refer you to that thread:
