By this reasoning, we should adopt an imperialist attitude and merely conquer any region of the planet for our profit. In fact, this is exactly what we have been doing. Anyone who is actually informed about our role in Yugoslavia, where we, as partners in the NATO bombings, successfully destroyed over 300 schools and only 14 tanks. How did destroying Yugoslavia's infrastructure prevent ethnic cleansing? It didn't, in fact it helped to escalate that problem.
We have been complicit in the crimes that have plagued our world, while pretending that we are some benificent influence. Our role in the G7/G8 has not resulted in moderating the escalating turmoil, but that of deceptive support of destructive foreign influences.
We have precious little time left before our imalgamation (voluntarily or otherwise) into a greater American jurisdiction, where our interests will continue to erode. The regions of this country have sufferred at the hands of invisible influences, which hide behind the spontaneously invalid title of "conspiracies".
Our utter lack of national responsibility to our precious finite resources combined with our support of oppressive measures around the world, from Korea to the Gulf, has shown the shambles of our democratic institutions. It demonstrates how shallow our pretence is to furthering world peace. We live in a world that has been greatly influenced by our ACTIONS, which in fact are farthest from our beliefs. The time to actually doing something about this is quickly coming to a close.
