To My Friends In The Usa

[UcanRock2]

Is that a hint J'Pol?

The US may have bombed parts of the world, but in some cases the UK has joined in with occupations and whatnot.

From my POV, the UK under Blair is pretty damn tight with the US.

And I'm not sure that there's any real connection between this:

in the sence that america is the one remaining superpower and that it has polarised itself against the rest of the world. Just like the soviet union it should be fragmented into its states and each state should be operated in much the same way as the emerging European model. 

And btw, the emerging european model you mention, is going towards unification, which may well end up with a similar system the US are employing now, what with EU laws already overriding local laws, and the common currency and politics and all that.

I haven't decided how to feel about that yet. At any rate it might eventually create a new sort of balance.

Apart from that the chinese are on the rise economically, and China may well become the next superpower, which is something one might worry about, seeing as china holds about a fifth of the earth's population, while being under the influence of a somewhat undemocratic regime. And compared to china, the US is pretty damned open.

I daresay we haven't seen anything close to the kind of polarization that might occur if China evolves further. We may be talking the east against the west to an extent we can't even try to predict, or possibly china against the rest of the world, for that matter.

well i for one dont want to go the USA route of centralization of power&#33;&#33; Im sure that western capatilism is the problem the unequal distribution of wealth. China OK is worrying also but thats because like america it is an expanding empire, we in europe i would like to think politicaly have learnt the error of colonial thinking&#33; Learn from our mistakes i say&#33;&#33; And as far as our goverment is concerned, I renounce it&#33; I did not agree with that war and protested against our affiliation with Bush&#39;s adminerstration and was along with millions of others routinely ignored
