I tend to think those early somewhat idealistic ideas when many hoped a united nations would lead to world peace was also evident in the post war reconstruction help engineered by the USA to other nations. But inevitably that gave way to the allure of power and protection of powerful vested interests under questionable ideologies and a very fluid ever changing foreign policy. <br />We have, for the most part in my view followed too closely USA foreign policy and ended up bogged down in many conflicts which have nothing to do with our region since our involvement is based purely upon security pacts.<br />Best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-37489840777065651152010-08-24T18:13:50.454-07:002010-08-24T18:13:50.454-07:00thanks to you all for taking the time to read my &...thanks to you all for taking the time to read my 'started out somewhere & ended up somewhere else' type post :) ...numbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975461278405963872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-6654455172217709662010-08-24T10:47:21.017-07:002010-08-24T10:47:21.017-07:00If you're not gonna turn that down, can you at...If you're not gonna turn that down, can you at least head to Canada, draft dodger?

I know susan, and admire her so much, and Crow, well, that old bastard is right on most of the time and it really gets me that he's so damn smart!<br />You have some good things to say too. I gotta tell ya, before Rayguns was elected, I vowed to move to Canada, yes, Canada, (So you want to be a Canadian, Please). Then, he got elected and like others have said, the country went downhill and started to change. I never did move.<br />Unions busted and tariffs removed made way for the service economy we have now and no manufacturing going on in the USA. It's a shame. Susan said she'd vote for me for president because I'd rebuild the infrastructure and tariff everything from China! Too bad, I can't run. I inhaled, long, hard and deep, and I listened to the Ramones and the Talking Heads, Little Feat, Gil Scott Herron and Leonard Cohen.<br />Anyway, I have always loved Canada, if not for anything else, their National anthem is good, and I love their flag.<br />Tell susan to make sure she lets us know what's going on and that I am sending all the positive energy I can for a safe trip.<br /><br />Peace.Spadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-15364060622654195782010-08-23T22:30:08.031-07:002010-08-23T22:30:08.031-07:00I never did believe anything he said.
