Occasionally I read news online from different sources throughout the world. I find it fascinating to get different perspectives and to learn about what is occuring around the world. If I rely on American newspapers for world events, the focus is very narrow.
I found an article a few minutes ago that speaks volumes.
The Bush administration is threatening Iran with war; this is great news, as it will allow OPEC and the rest of the oil producing nations to agree on a blockade and put Washington were it belongs.

The sentence was in bold online so I left it as such. While it seems like horrendous news to me if the United States invades Iran, other people around the world may see it as good news. It is an opportunity for them.
The strategy goes as follows: all oil producing nations of the planet must give an ultimatum to Washington, its evil empire must start behaving in a civilized manners and stop treating the planet as if it is its property, respect citizens and nations on this globe and stop harassing and psychologically torturing his own citizens. Give back the UN its legitimacy and stop interfering in other nations on the pretext of democracy.
I am not part of an evil empire. But I am. He is right. I allowed the people who are running this country to run it this way. The Republicans are running the House and the Senate and we had the White House stolen from us twice. But I still live here so I share in the blame. I will also share in getting the evil empire out of office.
This is a good plan. I don't like it in terms of someone who drives a car in America and also likes being employed. But he sure calls it like he sees it. He describes the evil empire perfectly. We would only have Great Britian as our ally. Could they supply our oil?
This plan doesn't even involve killing.
And all this can be achieved without the need of firing a shot and not killing thousands of innocent individuals as Washington has done in the past five years on the pretext of democracy and it is still doing worldwide.
Yep. He is right again. The pretext of democracy. This is the only card we have. And a lot of people who should be alive. We have those, too.
