[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 93956, member: 1912"] And that point is probably about the only worthwhile one in that article. Stopping the war on terrorism is unrealistic unless we can also committ our entire nation to a vow of poverty. One of the factors I believe getting us our attention is the wealth of this country and probably the arrogance with which we flex it. The lesson we learn with the CIA putting despots into power is an old one. Power corrupts. Once we put the jackal into power we no longer have the leverage to tell him what he should do and how he should do it. At that point we are either forced to remove him or deal with it. Isolationism on our part does not work as WWII showed. At the same time I'm not crazy about being the worlds police force. We have to find a better way and its clear that giving eveyone financial grants to play nice is not working well either. [/QUOTE]
