Only this time, it's going to be even uglier. The theft of the people's wealth to prop up insolvent banks and their elite owners is creating class conflict within countries and between countries (which rightly blame the U.S. for the trouble). Ethnic hatred within and between countries is also growing--what's different this time is there are hundreds of millions of people not loyal to the countries they live in scattered around the globe. Resource nationalism is also growing, as is demand for access to those resources from countries lacking their own resource base. The question is who is going to light the fuse? I wouldn't discount Iran, whether it attacks Israel, Israel attacks it, or the U.S. attacks Israel. I wouldn't discount Russia lighting the fuse either, if oil prices remain low for a few years. I wouldn't discount China either, seeing a weakened U.S. as an opportunity to reclaim Taiwan. Or another terrorist attack in the U.S. resulting in a less controlled (if you can call the last response controlled) response from the U.S. Mr. Wolff

The one that was going to re-ignite the cold war? The one that was certain to take place by 2/10? It's now 2/11 and does anyone know where George is? Haven't heard from him in a couple of weeks.

'Blowback' actually stops in 1986, and does not discuss Israel at all--but it is more than sufficient for dispelling this absurd 'Jews control our policy' garbage. Currently, Simpson is a professor at American University. I've exchanged emails with him before. He didn't reply to me when I asked about Israel. Discussing real policy regarding Israel seems to be verboten. PCR's Jewish conspiracy theory is without any basis in reality whatsoever. Simpson lives and works in the US. There is nothing disloyal about revealing our antisemitic foreign policy. Brock,

Russia was looted at the end of the cold war, and now she's recovering and the propaganda war has started......do I see a pattern here?

Just depends on what side of the story you want to hear. And I hate to break it to you, but I doubt any posters on this website will ever be inclined to look at the side championed by you and Mr. Simpson. That's because we don't have personal loyalties to any nation or government except the AMERICAN nation (NOT the American GOVERNMENT, God strike me down if I should not make that clear). Needless to say, that nation hasn't truly existed since Constitution was ratified, so we look to the leaders of our past for guidance. slim,

I have been called a crypto-neo-con, have been accusecd of being a paid apologist for Isreal (a "job"?), and have been told that I whitewash atrocities over the centuries by the Jews (atrocities by the Jews? -- maybe they use Christian babies' blood to make motzos -- or wait, the Arabs already have that one). This is like a neanazi site with better diction and larger words. The questions remain: was Himmler misundetstood? Were the Founding Fathers tainted by "Enlightenment ideas"? Did anyone talk about a "Palestinian nation" during Ottoman times? Were the Arabs pro-Nazi during the war? What difference does the "Arab street" make when the leadership is anti-Jew and anti-Israel?

Israel has a very varied economy, pro sports teams, some of the brightest minds in the world in engineering, technology, weaponry enhancement. Your beloved Kosovo--which your imperialist masters love to no end--would probably qualify as one of the lowest regarded states in the world. Wolff,
