So because the alliances change, we bury our heads in the sand and ignore that they were ever other than they are now? (Pardon the syntactical nightmare, but you get my drift).
...and that includes seeing to it that the world's economies have the free flow of oil at market prices.
Now we're getting somewhere: while I really don't care "that the world's economies have the free flow of oil at market prices" (the whole notion of a "world economy" is right out of Marx, as you well know), I do fully enforse the notion that the US has to protect her own economic interests, including the supply of oil.
What is un-American about that?).
I therefore fully endorse any move that protects American economic interests, including the protection of the US greenback as the fiat currency of choice. The threat that the dollar will fall by the wayside is a more credible threat to me than Saddam Hussein. And a good reason to go to war.
MEN understand such realities.
You mean, MEN like George Washington, who advised us to mind our own business?
You do have a problem with being able to see the *big picture*, don't you.
But you're an unrealistic isolationist, so it isn't surprising.
