What would happen if — like Georgia in Russia, say, California and 10 other states attempted to leave the union? You say you don’t know? I know! Remember studying about the Civil War; 600,000 dead and millions wounded and/or maimed. Limbless amputees haunted American streets into the 20th century.

The U.S., like England, France, Russia, Mexico and others, continues to interfere in Russian, Iraqi and Afghanistan affairs. That’s “the pot calling the kettle black.” Right now, Bush should welcome another war monger since he was the only world leader who currently started a war.

The United States needs to change everything for which its foreign policy stands. Aircraft carriers have been built to protect U.S. millionaire interests abroad and the U.S. military forces are used for the same purpose. They don’t really fight for freedom. They fight communism because American millionaires have no say in communist affairs. And, they fight to keep the rich pockets stuffed. A senseless war and a total waste of foreign policy.

The average American citizen couldn’t care less about what China and Russia do. It’s now the seventh year of the Republican/Conservatives’ plan to completely destroy America. Behind them is a wasteland of pay cuts, lost jobs, mortgage foreclosures, lost insurance benefits, higher taxes and higher and higher prices.
