I dunno. I hope and pray that nothing like that happens. And I think that china, india, Eur, and russia are giants we must stay strong to maintain our supremacy. A divided US, in camps, prisons, drafts, etc, will fall behind in every category worldwide. While I do believe that corporations do control much of what happens in the world, I believe there are competing factions and there won't be just ONE for many more decades.
Bush doesn't need an attack to justify attack on iran - he can order nuke strikes on his last day in office, and no one can stop him. We can control their resources just like we are doing in afghanistan and iraq.
IMO these things are control mechanisms. Fear keeps us in line. But attacks, drafts, etc would completely destroy our economy and US *firms* would lose business in other nations. The corporations would take the hit.
I don't know. I'm scared as hell by the thought of it. But it's still my opinion that the groups doing this are doing it for energy and strategic position - not to start a global war or destory america. I think cheney and bush love the US and when they leave - incredibly - we WILL be in a much stronger global and energy position than we were in 2000. Have they done terrible things? of course. but for 300 mil folks, controlling iraq keeps us safer and better off financially.
it's unanswerable. it's confusing. my head hurts.
