Skally made the interesting observation:
FDR once said, "In politics nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." May I suggest you click into Franklin D. Roosevelt, Yalta Agreement, Council of Foreign Relations and the Committee of 300 on your search engine."Well I did just that and while I got tons of hits, I found a rather interesting read in a back issue of The New American magazine that talked about how all the seeming and unfair aggression against the USA in acts of war, was actually something that was often planned and used for political purposes. If anyone else cares to read the article, you can find it at this URL: http://www.thenewamerican.com/departments/feature/1999/070499.htm
The only thing I will add is by stating an interesting quote I read in the latest issue of Unte Reader from former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark, who made this shocking statement:
OUR OVERRIDING PURPOSE, from the beginning right through the present day, has been world domination--that is, to build and maintain the capacity to coerce everybody else on the planet: nonviolently if possible; and violently if necessary. But the purpose of {U.S.} foreign policy of domination is not just to make the rest of the world jump through hoops: the purpose is to facilitate our exploitation of resources.from The Sun (August, 2001)
Looking at this, it is sad to say that if we get nuked...we have worked hard to bring it upon ourselves.
