| apr 01 2009 | | American Foreign Policy Failure. | Taken over the long term American Foreign Policy has been a disaster for America. It may have been a success for some vested interests but the cost in human life, devastated countries and destroyed economies, patently screams of injustice.
The latest brain fart of sending drones to massacre wedding parties in the hills of Pakistan could well result in an Islamic take-over of Pakistan, a nuclear armed country. Great idea.
Whether it is the military invasion and take over of Hawaii in 1898, ousting the democratic government of Iran in 1953 or the disaster of Vietnam in the '60's America has been driven to put it's army behind every dumb business expansion or Pentagon inspired fear fest.
Although some of these episodes appear to be so obviously contrary to America's continuing peaceful existence not to mention it's standing in the international community, nevertheless those that drive the policy gain unimaginable wealth, with a sidebar of perverse pleasure.
The Zionist lobby within the White House is so strong that America's Foreign Policy can be considered under direct control of Israel. Every contender for the Presidency was seen to court the Jewish vote disproportionately over all other interest groups, and there were many. Extreme rabid evanglicalism is on board and provoke trouble as their perverted vision is to accelerate conflict in the Middle East bacause they believe it will result in the second coming. Make no mistake these 'Christians' do follow Christ's teaching to remain outside of the political world.
American policy has resulted in other western governments become subservient to America's wishes, whether it be in illegal wars that were not even declared as wars, or toadying into agreeing to sanctions on any countries that America decides are a threat. Again the cost is in lives as the sanctions bite and children die, prior to invasion when the looting by America begins.
How is it working so far? Well a few people have got wealth beyond our comprehension. So what that America is hated by peoples around the world. So what that the average American is afraid to travel abroad. So what that the average American believes foreigners are about to come and murder them in their beds. Just like the commies were going to.
In the mean time, in the name of free trade and globalism, the few has sent the jobs of the many overseas where the few can get a bigger profit by exploiting the foreign labour. And the army is ready if the locals resist this. Meanwhile the tent cities expand across America as the people pay the price. Numbers receiving food stamps is escalating. No relief for them like the poor bankers.
Unfortunately, as an empire dies it's final death throws usually consist of foreign wars in a last desperate attempt to deflect dissatisfaction at home and as a stimulant to the economy. Both fail of course but at a huge cost of life. When the troops do come home it will be to quell the uprising of the disenfranchised.
World War Three has started, we haven't noticed because it is being waged in some elses backyard.
