Very interesting article coming up from the opinion of a reader who is concerning about the situation in the Caucus. It seems to me finally the American opinion is taking conscientious about GEOPOLITICS and comprehends what the old fashion of politics of the 20th century is gone!

And for the sake and PEACE in this small rock called PLANET a new alignment of POWER will be welcomed soon rather than later.

Superpowers flex muscle, but at what cost?

Earl Beal - Terre Haute, Ind.

In the power politics of international relations, superpower behavior is governed by the concept of geopolitical spheres of influence. When a superpower nation meddles in the internal affairs of another and attempts to exert undue political or economic influence in its perceived sphere, that's when trouble starts.

The trouble started when President Bush pressured Poland and the Czech Republic to establish a missile-defense system in their territories. This policy was then, and continues to be, seen by some as a direct threat to Russia, not to mention Bush's push for democratic reforms in former Soviet Republics still considered vital to Russia's national security interests.

Also, if Russia placed ballistic missiles in Cuba and/or Venezuela, this would constitute a direct threat to the U.S. Washington's hue and cry over such a move would be surpassed only by Bush's hypocrisy when he and his Pentagon took the "dramatic," "brutal" and "disproportionate" measure of invading a sovereign Iraq in 2003. As a result, what do we have?

The hemorrhaging of our national treasure in terms of lives lost.

Thousands of courageous people wounded.

A cost of more than $10 billion a month to finance this fiasco.

5 million Iraqi refugees scattered and without homes.

While the American media is bluffing about the “Invasion of Georgia” the Bush administration just receive a lap in his face as a consequence of his erroneous and horrendous mishandling of the situation in the Middle East; special remarks on his attitudes an action in the illegal war in Iraq.

 Register to vote, and send Voltage to play at the Democratic National Convention.  We have songs that are perfect for the event already written, and I am already the number one democrat at the DNC.

With the weather getting worse and worse every year, when is the government going to wake up and stop turning a blind eye to global warming. While we watch flash floods becoming common place due to record rains, and tornados ravishing the Midwest almost daily. Not to mention the fact that hurricanes are becoming stronger every year our government seems to just close their eyes like it is going to go away. Not to mention what they obviously will due when a disaster actually happens. Katrina and New Orleans is a perfect example of that.

The rest of the world is looking at solution, and we choose to ignore it. Are we that greedy we can’t see were killing ourselves in the long run. Mother Nature is saying it’s payback time for destroying her planet, and if we don’t start thinking this as a priority number one issue, she will wipe us off the face of this planet. Please I urge all of you to write your representative about this.

I would like to take some time off the norm around here. (Obama / Clinton crap) and try a little fresh air for a change. After coming down off the ceiling, while watching Glen Beck on CNN Headline news today, (Obviously a republican idiot.) I calmed down and wrote this.. I am amazed at this guy and can only pray there are not too many people like him. Getting to the point this idiot is blaming the oil crisis on polar bears. Yep you heard me right, Polar Bears… Now I don’t claim to be a tree huger, but I am aware that global warming is an issue that we all need to pay attention to it and the bottom line is oil supplies are running out. But this guy is blaming the fact that oil prices are the way they are because of laws protecting the polar bear and the Alaskan wild life. With gas at $4.00 a gallon, and oil companies showing record profits I say bullshit.
