The word “savage” Alexander uses reminds me of Michael Savage (website easily found) who argues that Iraq should pay the U. S. back for their “liberation.” I’m not kidding, he uses that exact word.

If many Americans believe likewise, we have a serious knowledge gap here.

The truth is, that Iraq should never have been invaded to begin with; it was never a serious threat to the U.S. Saddam’s nuclear program was set back first by Israel in 1981, then completely destroyed during the Gulf War. Iran on the other hand is on the verge of developing nuclear weapons and intends to use them against Israel and America. The solution to this problem is simple; the American or Israeli air force should immediately destroy their entire chemical, biological and nuclear arsenal.
This can be done easily with conventional weapons, and not a single American or Israeli soldier has to be killed. Occupying Islamic countries and trying to instil western values into the minds of these savages is pure insanity.

Ilana states:

“Bottom line, Americans should be convening to protest the Iraq war, with its 4 million refugees and tens of thousand dead. As little as they know about that recent atrocity, Americans know even less about Tibet. More material, Iraq is an American mess. Americans, most of whom cheered the war when it was launched, have an obligation to expiate and make amends for that mess. Until you’ve done that, shut the hell up about Tibet.”

So true! We have not yet “made expiation” for our role in Iraq. Many Americans don’t believe that we even did anything wrong there. More horrifying is the prospect of that “success” influencing an attack upon Iran–because we can–which I believe was the attitude of many of the “neocons” before the Iraq invasion.

What if the Chinese should dump the 800 billion they hold in US Currency? Or even threaten to?

Then my gold goes through the roof, and I clean up at the fire sales those poor fools who held their money in Federal Reserve Notes will be holding.

Shortly thereafter, the U.S. dollar is replaced with the new U.S. Grau (defined as one metric gram of gold plus a little bit of copper for strength).

When citizens have traded their dollars for graus, the government pays off the national debt by simply printing the money, mailing it to the holders of the debt, and saying (again) “it’s our currency, but it’s your problem”.

The Dollar being thus awarded it’s proper status as waste paper, and the national debt repaid (or more honestly, repudiated), we all live happily ever after.

This sort of tendency among American celebrities reminds me of that hysterical scene with the F.A.G. (Film Actor’s Guild) in Team America: World Police, if you’ve ever seen that film.

While I do think the Tibetans have a legitimate beef with China, it is none of our business. Tibet is an internal Chinese matter, period. Let’s clean up our own yard before peering over the fence.

I guess even the prospect of peace is too much for some. By all means let’s antagonize the Chinese and the Russians too. One billion Muslims is too small a challenge.
