We all share a common interest, namely existance. I believe there needs to be a refrain from all violent means of achieving our objectives and a sustained effort of scaling down our expectations from others. Needs, as a human, are minimal in a biological sense. there is however implicit in our dna the compulsion to overcome our situation. All our energy’s need to be employed in understanding the motivations and neccessary needs of our short tenue of this land without recourse of taking from others

good info here. I’ll visit regularly. Corporations & The Church would probably also qualify as “dictators” supported by the US at the peril of the people.

Interesting connection, which has value. I have always thought it was very odd how Georgia has embraced Bush and considers him a hero. Oil, well with the Bush regime it’s always about oil. The world is his oil fountain.

The American media is a joke. They will once again pass over the real story and then wonder how they missed it. Maybe covering John Edwards affair and Paris Hilton’s video is the extent of their mental capabilities.

In view of current events (Aug. 08), it’s fascinating how all the US news media have managed completely to avoid mentioning the big oil pipeline routed through Turkey into Georgia, which will give the US an excuse for stationing troops along Russia’s southern border areas, and incidentally just to the east of the Middle East.

Given his views on human rights, Saakashvili seems to be just the latest in the long tradition of US-created monsters.

Thank you and welcome Christopher. This common strategy the US has used since it came to be. Americans are slick talkers, great snake oil salesmen and entrepreneurs. US ability to promise the world and convince the unwilling to do our dirty work, pay our way into the pockets of notorious dictators … This strategy is backfiring now. The money we now use to get our way is borrowed. US leaders are skimping on their own people to fund outrageous schemes. America has changed. Time will tell whether anything has been learned.

Christopher:
Welcome to BlueBloggin and we do try to keep it interesting.

The US is the new empire, with 700 military installations worldwide, we can’t say that we are not in everyone’s business. Every dictator that we have set up has been a disaster to their country, slaughtered their people and we eventually have to send in troops because they are standing up to us.

England learned it’s lesson and pulled out everywhere. But, as the US goes we know how to do everything better so now we are the empire.

BTW:I went to your site and I likes it. I also like that you have Existentialist Cowboy link.

When has the US never supported dictators if it thinks it is in the US’s interests?

All great powers act the same, and always will.

JFK once famously said, in so many words, that America didn’t have permanent friends, only permanent interests.

You have an interesting site, and I’ll visit it often.
