History

[woodface]

allisnow posted this on her lj. It saddens me. I'm no specialist on the interbellum but this is sounding very familiar.

The quote shows a complete lack of history. The mess was created by the US in the first place.

And yes, let's abandon the UN. Very good suggestion. Leaves us right before WWII when the League of Nations fell to pieces because US didn't want to take a roll in it.

Frightening what a complete lack of history can do to the world.

So I think UN should bitchslap Bush *g*

Yeah but who's gonna take action? No one seems to have the guts. Belgium goes through its knees when they threaten to take NATO out of Brussels.

I'm not sure what UN can do to reprimand them. I do hope they stick to their guns and not send soldiers to Iraq. Of course, that is more punishing the people there than the US.

Ack lacking a sentence in my post. The Belgium thing was just an example as US seems to have some power everywhere.

Hmmmmm, China if you give them a few more decades. But they scare me more than the US does.

I don't think North Korea has any significance. They might if they become bodies with China.

China would be scary because I think there would be a die for the country attitude that is more intense than ours.

Among others. They plan things carefully beforehand. They don't think of right now but of the future. So their plans can take decades. They took Tibet and nobody said anything. They're planning on taking Nepal in much the same way. Maybe I'm extremely paranoid but I really do think that once China has caught up with the world and modernised everything, they will be a force to reckon with.

China if you give them a few more decades.

...a very astute comment, Jara, and I'm not even sure it will take decades...

And you made me think.
Damn you! *g*

The chinese have time. They don't want everything now but are slowly making plans. They took in Tibet and are slowly moving to take Nepal (and India?) too. They're giving buildings and roads to Nepal and after the murder on the monarchy there, chinese rebels have been raking havoc.

And you made me think. Damn you! *g*

I'm evil *g*

Or if Bush keeps playing the idiot, we'll get the muslim world to unite... Although I don't see that happening this week.

Yeah, he seems to be oggling it. Iran has always been on his list, right after Iraq. Seems he is trying to get the UN to do inspections there as well. I keep wondering how long it will take until they all say they had enough.
