What United States has to do to Win the War on Terror

[David2004]

The United States has to become more energy independent and bring the national debt into balance. Securing our national boarders while strengthening the role of the Organization of the American States (OAS) in the problems of the American hemisphere. The United States must increase its international diplomatic role while decreasing its international military present. The United States must lead by example and practice what it preaches. Only by Americans solving her problems at home can she help other solve their problems abroad. The OAS should become the template for other regional multilateral organizations around the world.

The United States government should take on humanitarian relief missions similar to the Asian Tsunami. Working in cooperation with other governments and NGO’s to do what is the right thing. The goodwill from these missions will bring more security and peace to the people of the world. Only by working on a strong international multilateral platform with the same rules for everyone will things get better.

Without going into all of the mistakes of the pass we must solve the problems of today. This is true in Africa, Middle East, South America, Eastern Europe as well as Asia. Each nation has their own distinguished problems must be addressed by the people of the region and international community of nations. Only by working as partners as in the Asian Tsunami can we help to solve the problems in the world.

The footprint of the people of the modern world has stepped on and often destroyed the indigenous people way of life for the control of the land’s natural resources. Often the problems of one nation will have a direct impact on the problems of another nation within the region. There are two very different models of security to compare. The first is the United States-Israel model of military domination and then little diplomacy or the second is the Scandinavian model of diplomacy on top of diplomacy. The world would be a much safer place if more nations had military forces similar to those in the Scandinavian nations. The people of the world cannot afford to have a United State- Israel arms race and have the financial resources to do the humanitarian missions for peace and security. If the United States military was involved in more situations similar to the Asian Tsunami relief and fewer situation as Iraq the world would be a much safer place.

I certainly would like to see the US become more energy independent and getting the national debt into balance is always a desirable goal. I would not like to see the US subvert its soveignty to the OAS anymore than I want the UN to run the US. As for the military presence the US has, I think it is about right. The US has problems at home of course, but I dont remember any nation objecting to the US aid during WW II because we had not solved our problems at home; I also am willing to bet that the nations that receive economic/military aid from the US could give a rat's butt that we haven't solved our problems at home.

The United States government should take on humanitarian relief missions similar to the Asian Tsunami. Working in cooperation with other governments and NGO’s to do what is the right thing. The goodwill from these missions will bring more security and peace to the people of the world. Only by working on a strong international multilateral platform with the same rules for everyone will things get better.

The US does take on humanitarian missions. We all know how much good will we get from those....the tsunami relief effort is great testament to that! I totally disagree with the international multilateral platform espoused here. All nations are different with different national interests...almost none of them want the US to prosper....so screw that!

Without going into all of the mistakes of the pass we must solve the problems of today. This is true in Africa, Middle East, South America, Eastern Europe as well as Asia. Each nation has their own distinguished problems must be addressed by the people of the region and international community of nations.

The US cannot help nations that dont want to be helped. The biggest problem is exemplified by regions like the Balkans and Dafur. The nations in that region did/do nothing and then expect the US to step in...screw that too.

People have been stepping all over each other since the first cavemen picked up a rock to bash his neighbors head in. As for models of security, I would hardly call the Scandinavian countries secure. If not for the security provided by alliances of stronger (militarily) nations the Scandinavians would all be speaking Russian or German. The world would be a safer place if the religious fanatics would stop blowing up everything in sight in the name of Allah.

Just my opinion of course

There is no particular member of the OAS which would materially affect current oil prices. Venezuala is a drop in the bucket, and so is Mexico.

The United States must increase its international diplomatic role while decreasing its international military present.

Which is some kind of strategy the U.N. honed in upon in the oil rich states of the Middle East... NOT.

The United States must lead by example and practice what it preaches . Only by Americans solving her problems at home can she help other solve their problems abroad. The OAS should become the template for other regional multilateral organizations around the world.

The United States government should take on humanitarian relief missions similar to the Asian Tsunami. Working in cooperation with other governments and NGO’s to do what is the right thing.

Only by working on a strong international multilateral platform with the same rules for everyone will things get better.

Sounds like a payoff to me.... how much can America afford to payoff all the problems of the world?

Without going into all of the mistakes of the pass we must solve the problems of today. This is true in Africa, Middle East, South America, Eastern Europe as well as Asia.

That about covers the whole realm of problems in the world. So we must solve the worlds problems through 'goodwill', as you state, before we're truly deserving of peace and prosperity.

Each nation has their own distinguished problems must be addressed by the people of the region and international community of nations. Only by working as partners as in the Asian Tsunami can we help to solve the problems in the world.

Boiled down to the bone, the simplicy of providing aid relief equates with peace on Earth, and all that.

The footprint of the people of the modern world has stepped on and often destroyed the indigenous people way of life for the control of the land’s natural resources.

Oh, yeah, it was SO MUCH BETTER before the White man came with his indoor plumbing, wholesale food distribution, mass transport, corporate jobs etc... let's go back to hunting buffalo and stitching together hides for warmth.

Often the problems of one nation will have a direct impact on the problems of another nation within the region. There are two very different models of security to compare. The first is the United States-Israel model of military domination and then little diplomacy or the second is the Scandinavian model of diplomacy on top of diplomacy.

Bond: Anotop?

Anotop: Yes, Anotop. With my thighs squeezing you.

The world would be a much safer place if more nations had military forces similar to those in the Scandinavian nations.

You mean a forced military draft?

The people of the world cannot afford to have a United State- Israel arms race and have the financial resources to do the humanitarian missions for peace and security.

You mean opposing a U.S./Isreal military is of course at odds with any humantiarian mission. :wank:

If the United States military was involved in more situations similar to the Asian Tsunami relief and fewer situation as Iraq the world would be a much safer place.

Of course with Saddam in place that statement falters.
