It will be interesting to see how long it takes these chickens to come home to roost here in the US.

The petro-dollar is the only thing funding this media justified campaign and I think once an acceptable substitute is found, the US will find itself more and more alone.

The powers that be aren't interested in the long term future of the US or the American people that it uses as a disposable workforce though, so no amount of rational discussion will sway them from their course.

"When the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail."

Then again, most Americans are so blinded by generations of institutionalized materialism, they don't want to see how things truly are.

Keep up the good work though, you have the moral high ground.
