Now a plug for Noory and C2C.. tonight looks interesting and comports with what I remember of recent history and current events vis-a-vis the Soviet Union and Red China.

"Journalist James R. Norman contends that the U.S. and its allies can use the price of oil as an economic weapon. He'll review how we used low prices to destroy the Soviet Union in the 80s and high prices to hurt China in 2008. Although many think China is thriving with their huge manufacturing base, he says they are now hurting due to slow economic growth & discontent."

"low prices ... destroy the Soviet Union in the 80s" That's right.

to the extent that high prices worsen problems in Red China they threaten to provoke more Tiananmen square revolts.

I am going to try to stay awake to listen .. it will be fun to listen to hear how it's George Bush's fault that things did not go as well as they could have. :)

Savage disrespected the entire W.W.II generation.. I must have heard wrong.

How could anyone say that men had to be forced (drafted) into service following Pearl Harbor -- or even given the events leading to obvious war?

He must be confusing that with the movie "The Mouse That Roared."

Something like this

Sellers: "Men of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick do you love your country?"

"Yes!"

Sellers: "Are you willing to die for your country?"

"No!"
