Time om het Spel van het Imperium weg te gaan
Zaterdag, 26 Juli, 2008 Bespreek dit rapport in de forums RINF > Door Patrick J. Buchanan | Aangezien om het even welke militaire historicus zal getuigen, onder moeilijkst van manoeuvres is de strategische terugtocht. De terugtocht van Napoleon van Moskou, de terugtocht van Luwtes aan Appomattox en de terugtocht van MacArthur van Yalu komen te letten op. Het Britse Imperium verliet India in 1947 - en moslim-Hindoes bloodbath volgde. Vertrek van Frankrijk van Indochina was ignominious, en haar verlaten van honderdduizenden gelovige Algerijnen aan beschamende FALN. Weinig Amerikaan kan de vernedering van Saigon `75, of de bootvluchtelingen, of de Cambodjaanse holocaust vergeten. De strategische terugtocht die routs worden zijn vaak het resultaat van wat Lord Salisbury genoemd de „gemeenschappelijkste fout in politiek die… aan het karkas van dood beleid plakt.“ Vanaf 1989 tot 1991, met de instorting van het SovjetImperium en het verbreken van de USSR, had Amerika een kans om zijn globale last te bepalen en te worden opnieuw wat Jeane Kirkpatrick genoemd een „normaal land in een normale tijd.“ Wij laten de kanspas die langs, in plaats daarvan onze rijkdom en bevoegdheid opteert te gebruiken om de wereld in democratisch kapitalisme om te zetten. En wij hebben de beloning van alle andere imperiums geoogst die vóór gingen: een het dalen munt, relatieve daling, universeel vijandschap, een reeks van welke Rudyard Kipling genoemd de „primitieve oorlogen van vrede.“ Maar toch is de kans opnieuw voor Amerika gekomen om zijn keizerlast af te werpen en opnieuw de republiek van onze vaders te worden. De voorzitter van de Partij van Chiang is Kai -kai-shek Kuomintang net ontvangen zes dagen door Peking. De commerciële vluchten zijn tussen Taipeh en het vasteland begonnen. Niet wordt de tijd rijp voor Amerika om onze baan gedaan te verklaren, dat het verband tussen China en Taiwan niet meer een essentiële rente van de Verenigde Staten is? De overheid van Nouri al-Maliki van de eerste Minister wil een statuut van krachtenovereenkomst met een tijdschema voor volledige terugtrekking van de V.S. troepen. Is het geen tijd, om dat de volledige terugtrekking eveneens ons doel ja te zeggen te verklaren is, dat de Verenigde Staten geen permanente basissen in Irak zoeken? Op 4 Juli, headlined Reuters, in een verhaal de „weigeringen de V.S. van Polen. raket aanbieding,“ gerapporteerd van Warshau: „Polen afgewezen zoals ontoereikend op Vrijdag de V.S. aanbieding om zijn luchtafweer in ruil daarvoor op te voeren voor het baseren van antiraketinterceptors op zijn grond. … “‘We have not reached a satisfactory result on the issue of increasing the level of Polish security,’ Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a news conference after studying the latest U.S. proposal.” Tusk is demanding that America “provide billions of dollars worth of U.S. investment to upgrade Polish air defenses in return for hosting 10 two-stage missile interceptors,” said Reuters. Reflect if you will on what is going on here. By bringing Poland into NATO, we agreed to defend her against the world’s largest nation, Russia, with thousands of nuclear weapons. Now, the Polish regime is refusing us permission to site 10 anti-missile missiles on Polish soil, unless we pay Poland billions for the privilege. Has Uncle Sam gone senile? No. Tusk has Sam figured out. The old boy is so desperate to continue in his Cold War role as world’s Defender of Democracy he will even pay the Europeans – to defend Europe. Why not tell Tusk that if he wants an air defense system, he can buy it; that we Americans are no longer willing to pay Poland for the privilege of defending Poland; that the anti-missile missile deal is off. And use cancellation of the missile shield to repair relations with a far larger and more important power, Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Consider, too, the opening South Korea is giving us to end our 60-year commitment to defend her against the North. For weeks, Seoul hosted anti-American protests against a trade deal that allows U.S. beef into South Korea. Koreans say they fear mad-cow disease. Yet, when a new deal was cut to limit imports to U.S. beef from cattle less than 30 months old, that too was rejected by the protesters. Behind the demonstrations lies a sentiment of anti-Americanism. In 2002, a Pew Research Center survey of 42 nations found 44 percent of South Koreans, second highest number of any country, holding an unfavorable view of the United States. A Korean survey put the figure at 53 percent, with 80 percent of youth holding a negative view. By 39 percent to 35 percent, South Koreans saw the United States as a greater threat than North Korea. Can someone explain why we keep 30,000 troops on the DMZ of a nation whose people do not even like us? The raison d’etre for NATO was the Red Army on the Elbe. It disappeared two decades ago. The Chinese army left North Korea 50 years ago. Yet NATO endures and the U.S. Army stands on the DMZ. Why? Because, if all U.S. troops were brought home from Europe and Korea, 10,000 rice bowls would be broken. They are the rice bowls of politicians, diplomats, generals, journalists and think tanks who would all have to find another line of work. And that is why the Empire will endure until disaster befalls it, as it did all the others. Pat Buchanan was twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the Reform Party’s candidate in 2000. He is also a founder and editor of The American Conservative. Now a political analyst for MSNBC and a syndicated columnist, he served three presidents in the White House, was a founding panelist of three national TV shows, and is the author of seven books.

Hi
Why is there no author name on this article? Is this person embarrassed that they know nothing about the pyramid scheme symbol on the back of the USA dollar and how it signifies EMPIRE management of its own herded people?? Does this author remember ANYTHING about the childhood pyramids that we all failed-at building in the farmyards/playgrounds, where the upper 1/3 is heads-in-the-clouds while the children on the bottom ALWAYS GET HURT from the weight of the world’s knees in their backs?? Does this person see the parental policy reversal from share, to fight, when USA kids turn 18 and get sharktanked into “out there” (forced to get a job)?? Does this author see the widespread Chicago mob-like “pay up or lose your wellbeing” going on in capitalism?? Does this author know that an empire is happening amongst “our” own people?? Does this author understand that when you force 18 yr olds to join a competer’s church like capitalism, they kill membership in the cooperator’s church called Christianity/socialism?? Does this author see the runaway shopping/enjoyments addiction in the American cattle?? I wonder which worthless cookieplate-chasers paper (money) “we” will be offering to Poland, the ones with the pyramid scheme symbol, or Euros? I wonder if Poland realizes that if they outlaw entitles of ownership, money, wages, and pricetags… that they no longer need rat-racing servitude-infested pyramid economies like AmWay (American Way).
Lets get the author’s name on that article attempt, so we can see who this empire-uneducated author-wannabe… is.
