I have a scary thought for you.

Since so many people have already been lost.
What if we got into another world war rite now?

If we didn't have enough people.
And they actually proved to be to much to handle.

Are we capable of handling that scenario?

Rite now we believe in a mass Dominance over the world.
In truth its far from true at all.
China and japan are beating us in economics.
We don't have the most supplies or people.

Does America still have it in her to battle out past the bad times ahead?...

       One word for you MasDom, Technology. It's not the guns tucked away under our Second Amendment rights that make the US impossible to defeat, it's the workshops in our garages. Good old American Ingenuity.

     We'll need ground troops of course. WHY do you think our gov't is so eager to legalize 12 million illegal immigrants? We are going to send them off to get shot at while the suburban kids will be piloting UAVs and gadgets that are still hiding behind locked doors in buildings where the greasy cafeteria napkins get shredded and burned for security. These will be nothing to what we come up with once we actually need them.

     What we don't have yet is the will. I deeply dread the sort of event it will take to get our spoiled, lazy asses motivated, but we are dealing with people crazy enough to make it happen.

The US, Russia and China etc will never be occupied, the land masses involved are just too big. That is not to say they won't be defeated in a war, they all have and it doesn't mean they won't break up due to demographic and economic changes, national states aren't fixed entities.

One has to wonder what epiphany brought about this post from the OP?

well i hope not.... it would be nice if we all woke up one day and discovered that we have, um (we) meaning the whole freakin world for the most part have all been nothing more than pawns with our opinions shaped by the media, (also pawns), laws passsed by the government(s), (also pawns), our children murdered in wars, all so a few elite bankers can keep up their cash flow.

Another titel would be "What History Never Knew", at least as far as the public is concerned

Its not what you see thats scary its what you dont see that you should fear.

take a look at the crackpot vids below. if nothing else you may find it entertaining.

I just realize that this wont really end well.
Not because we wont get threw this situation,
But based on the fact that deep inside us theirs a resolve.
A resolve never to know the light of day.

In the end we keep putting peace off.
And well here it comes to haunt us.

Perpetual war for perpetual peace. Wasn't it nice when Orwell was shocking. Now it is quite mundane. Eye in the sky ? Hell there are thousands of eyes in the skies. Big brother ? Actually that would be nice compared to what we got. They can see through the walls of your house, and even your clothing.

Actually all this has ben in the works since at least the 40s. The current plan that is. To control a territory is to control it's natural resources. That is what about ½ of it is about. The rest is in securing the stolen goods and protecting the thieves.

Conspiracy theory ? I got three words for you. "Look who's rich". This is akin to "Follow the money", not exactly the same, but close. Follow the money infers after the fact, look who's rich is not necessarily after the fact.

I remember a cartoon a long time ago. The villain was a pirate or something like that and was very rich. When asked why he steals when he is so rich he replied "To stay rich", rolling the R of course.

They are now in the process of killing their golden goose. Some know it, some don't. This next war is going to make it like a third world country over here. I would go so far to say that illegal immigration will not be a problem. Wanna solve it even quicker ? Send all the illegals into the military. Let them have a dose of DU like our boys.

Let me tell you all something, especially those who do not believe that the administration should be held back from escalating the war. There are a hell of alot of them. They have a deity and will give their life. Now that we have shook down the hornet's nest the only way is a truce, and that is not going to happen because nomads won their independence from the indigeonous people of Palestine.

So there is no going back. There is only forward, and they aren't going to stop until each and every one of them is dead. Would you ? The best we can hope for is no more, I don't think we will have any less in the near future.

When you percieve an enemy, and decide to engage that enemy, you might actually be creating an enemy.

Yup, this war is going to be a doosie. And when the cracks start to show we will again have Arabs of all types who have been under a lid for some time who will decide it is time to get busy again. I think in time they see that fighting seperately is futile. Eventually we will see the breakdown of some US friendly Arab governments.

Done for now. The subject is getting a bit old for me. I'll go figure out something off the wall to post. Wish me luck.

Since 911, when seeing those buildings drop like that just didnt sit right with me since there was no freaking fire to speak of, this whole thing has been nagging me for years.

i had a turn of my own opinion in as much as i used to think geez these poor muslim guys do not have anything to live for but sand and scratching for a meal, so of course they will strap on a bomb for allah. Wrong thinking r1

i have since dated a muslim woman whose family was deeply into a certain governmetns politics on a presidenttial level not to give it away and from, well lets just say that side of the pond. She explained to me their thinking and now i see the muslims as our saviors.

They are not part of the machine. They approach their governments with distrust right out of the chute where as most americans have been brainwashed to trust ours and there is going to be our downfall. after all it does say in god we trust, that is right along with the templar icon on a templar note!

i think that any people who feel they can trust their government is doomed frankly. That is not to say that there are not trustworth people in government but as they rise up they all become vistim to the offerings of wealth and power. therein lies the real problem and therein is the reason that no amount of safegaurding or laws can make any form of government more successful over another because in the end it boils down to morals. which is not the same as religious btw.

Not only is it important to know history but also to recognize when its happening to you inbetween games on the xbox and espn.
