America is now struggling to keep its system of government alive and the rule of law absolute. What better opportunity for the other world powers to start building their forces and influence at a time of great strife within this country. What would you do if you where a power, who's ideas were defeated time and time again through out the generations of Americans and their hopes for freedom? You wait because at some point, as proven throughout history, Governments decays.
Right now we have the perfect situation for a war to bring down our country. We have wide spread corruption within our Government. Departments within our Government that do nothing but waste Money(Homeland Security), An Executive branch trying with every ounce of it's legal power to strip us of our freedoms. That of course is funny because no single branch of government has the authority to override the constitution.
Let's examine the current situation with the world.
First, North Korea has developed WMD and is testing missiles. "The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously on July 15, 2006 to impose weapons-related sanctions on North Korea in response to its flurry of missile tests earlier this month. ...To avert a veto from China, the resolution does not mention Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which is used on a legally binding document. But Security Council members say the resolution is mandatory because of the way it is worded. China and Russia had originally proposed weaker language, but agreed to a tough resolution. They expressed fears that Chapter 7 would lead to military action as in Iraq."Boston.com News. North Korea openly suggests they are will to develop WMDs, are test missiles to use them and are becoming increasingly more hostile because of US Foreign Policy. Yet with these increases of blatant disregard for International Law, the US still is unable to secure a unanimous resolution for across the board sanctions and possible military action if North Korea doesn't obey international law.
Second, China has been strengthening its military connections with
France in an article by People's Daily Online stated that "Guo Boxiong, the visiting vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, on Wednesday in Paris held talks with French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie. The two sides vowed to push forward the development of the military ties between the two countries." As well as their relationship with Russia, in an article from the UN Observer "The significance of Sino-Russian relations is not only growing, it is changing. This is closely linked with the new orientation of the entire Russian foreign policy on Asia, during recent years. The Soviet side had previously perceived the Asia-Pacific region exclusively under military-strategic aspects. The new orientation is aimed at integrating the then USSR into this dynamic part of the world economy and, at the same time, bringing Soviet power to bear." This maybe the most important time in our history to not be polarized about our politics; we should address the issue's that are clearly at hand. Russia is expanding their power with China as well as influence "on the international front, Putin's Russia is making trouble on Iran, obstructing U.S. efforts to get the Mullahs to stop their nuclear ambitions. And it is no surprise, seeing that not only did Russia obstruct U.S. efforts in Iraq, but evidence indicates that the Russian ambassador to Iraq passed on U.S. war plans to Saddam in the early days of the American invasion. More troublesome still, it appears that Russian mischief is behind the missing Iraqi WMDs." As stated by kavkazcenter.com. Seems to me there's a lot more to worry about then Flag burning and Marriage Amendments.
Iran, is another issue that we can't seem to deal with. They have refused our demands for a timely response to the incentives package. Refuse to stop enriching uranium. Called for Israelis' destruction and still done nothing and nothing can be done because we are stuck in a lie (Iraq) as been proven. As well as the failed suppression of the Afghanistan Taliban; as reported by the BBC "The scale of the fighting in southern Afghanistan has dramatically increased over the past few months. But there is another war going on at a much more local level, targeting government infrastructure across the country. Local politicians, police chiefs and judges are being assassinated, and schools are being closed due to intimidation or being burned to the ground, as Alastair Leithead reports." I don't even have to mention the Lebanon/Israel crisis.
There is a real threat to this country and it is not only from our own Government. Old, defeated enemies are starting to scratch each others backs and plot in back rooms for a way to look up Lady Justice's skirt to see if there's really a chastity belt or not; once they discover the truth (which they may already have) they will screw her! This is the Reality of our situation. We have to rebuild our rule of law and infustructure here at home and fight the pressure that Iran, Russia and China are creating. A task of tasks even for the Great Generation!
