I certainly will Beth, because it affects us here in the UK too, as much as we don't want to hear that. I haven't added any links here, because I don't think I should. If you want some links you can either E-mail me or contact me through my page here.

Yes, sad prospective indeed. But unfortunately perfect balance among the countries has always proved to be a chimera. Someone has always got the or more power over the others and, in fairness, I'd rather the US had that than any of the above.

That's the mistake we all make Maria. That's what you're meant to think. Of all the countries in the world to have the power, the USA is the most dangerous of all.

Do you really think so, Andy?  I'm not sure I'd like to test that in this life. Don't get me wrong, I'm not naive and am fully aware that it's a dirty game all the time, but I really wouldn't want to see certain countries to get better than the US at that.

OK Maria, I have to justify my statement. Which country has dropped nuclear bombs on human beings in major cities? Which country has been at war with at least one country since the Korean war? Which countrys' currency dictates the worth of every currency on the planet? Which country spends more on arms than any other? Which country is responsible for bringing the UN into being and has a major say over its' policies? Which country invaded Iraq on the pretence that terrorists from that country were to blame for 911? Which country did not find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, even though they SOLD WMD to Iraq?

Nope! You're the nicest people on earth. Your government, secret societies and secret agencies leave a lot to be desired though. Just as ours do. People go to war for their country because they think they're doing it FOR their country, their people etc. What they may not realise is that they're going to war to allow their countrys' government to get what they want. That is, revenue and power....in that order. I know a lot of people won't agree with me, but all I would say is, study it, there are all sorts of information sources these days.

Well, I can't disagree with you there Andy. I wish I could but throughout the ages it seems that governments, most of which may have started out sincerely enough, always end up becoming power/money hungry beasts.
