How America Determines Friends And Foes

Posted on Tuesday, March 16 at 01:18 by 4Canada
A special responsibility is to wage war against terrorism, with the corollary that any state that harbors terrorists is a terrorist state and should be treated accordingly.

Let's ask a fair and simple question: What would the consequences be if we were to take the Bush doctrine seriously, and treat states that harbor terrorists as terrorist states, subject to bombardment and invasion?

The United States has long been a sanctuary to a rogues' gallery of people whose actions qualify them as terrorists, and whose presence compromises and complicates U.S. proclaimed principles.

    "How does America determine friends and foes?"

    .......just "Follow the money trail."

    Gnome Chomsky proves once again that he can't write. This article was convoluted and full of innuendo, this may work for his disciples, but some of us would like to see him draw a conclusion from facts once in a while, or just get to the point!

    America`s friends- Do what we say, and suppress any social democratic movement. America`s foes- former friends tired of getting the shaft by America, and any country that has a formidable social safety net.

    Gname caller anonymous,

    I appreciate that you have an opinion, but it's hard to respect it when you won't stand up for it.
