What're we doing? We already control the world's oil because the petroleum exchange runs on dollars. We're so busy pissing around that the Chinese are cutting deals all over the world without lifting a bullit. India decided they don't need to worry about Pakistan anymore, & they've gone on a development tear. Asia & South America are each looking real hard at setting up regional common markets, & maybe even common currencies. We shifted from Columbia to Venezuela as the Latin-American boogeyman, but nobody's buying it. Our military leases aren't being renewed, & our hand picked government leaders can't hold power anymore. The last 7 years have been a total disaster. We're fast turning into the crazy guys with the guns. We need to get out of war mode. We've been stuck in it since 1941. Time for a change.
