We need to be getting OUT of a lot of "treaties" and "Alliances" not getting involved in more of them!

Yes, that's correct, I was teasing you because you didn't answer in proper jeopardy format.

Popeye,

There's a flaw in your get out of treaties and alliances plan. Superpowers maintain their power through alliances designed to maintain influence in various parts of the world. Hence, the alliances with Britain in Europe, Saudi in the Middle East, Turkey in the Balkan region, Pakistan in Asia etc.

For as long as the US Government wishes to remain the world's only superpower I wouldn't expect the door to be closed on these alliances.

There are parallels between the international diplomacy of the British Empire and today's US foreign policy.

Regards

Well of course it is a conspiracy! They were Freemasons. and therefore linked to the Illuminati and the Trilateral Commission. They killed Elvis and JFK, put brain numbing floride in our water, introduced mind control drugs into polio vaccines, made secret treaties with redneck abducting, anal probing aliens, and are currently trying to brain wash us with the HAARP project in Alaska. Don't ask yourself if you are paranoid. Ask yourself if you are paranoid enough!

Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

This whole thread has shown me my foolish side.

After being beat up and misquoted for two and half pages, because I wasn't being clear enough for serious debate or to be understood ... I actually had an expectation that these same people might respond to post 55, where I basically spelled out my thoughts.

Gotta love this thread ... it just ROCKS!!!

"Iran is a country that supports groups that are willing to lob missiles on our friends, meaning Israel. We can debate this friendship until we are blue in the face, but that doesn't change the fact that they are our friends and that is unlikely to change. "

...took this bit out of that post Caitlyn, because again i think i disagree with one of your basic assumptions. Later on in your post you spoke of Israel seeming to be a bit agressive to their neighbours,. but your only solution to this is to take away their neighbours terrorist groups so that Israel has no excuse. Your reasoning here seems to me to excessively optimistic.....the irony, go figure........i see no indication that Israel would stop being so aggressive. Whenever a terrorist group stands a chance of making the shift to purely political opposition Israel do something provocative and stupid...like arresting the vice-president of an elected government.............surely we should agitate for an approach based purely on justice as opposed to accepting an injustice as simply status quo.......
