Our America - Our Future - The Next World War!

In this, the week of our blessed nation's 230th birthday, we look around the world and seek peace.

Yet, after 230 years of struggle just to be free, we see our successes undermined by those that hate us, from within and without. How could so many fail to see what we bring to the world? How could so many not see the progress and the freedom most of the world enjoys at our hands?

Yet it is true that many don't. Those beyond are fed the hate and commiseration of those from within. Do these fools not see what their disunity brings? Unfortunately they do not, as they never have. Just as before world wars, the mindless look inward and hate those that defend their freedoms.

Just as before, we seem to be on the verge of a much larger conflict.

The invasion of Iraq has done much to re-align the coming conflict. It has pushed the Chinese back, and forced them to re-assess our value. Clearly they see us as a valued consumer, but are we an equal in their eyes? I'm afraid not.

Iran, now the puppet of both the Chinese and the moronic Russians, is proceeding on a course towards war. You have to ask yourself why would the Russians and Chinese support a rogue gaining nuclear weapons? But then the Russians supported the rise of Hitler too!

The answer is partly obvious - The Russians crave world standing, and a restoration of their former glory and power. By keeping the Americans focused on the annoyance of Iran, they can both play the powerful intermediary, and be free to explore other adventures (such as Venezuela and South America). But in doing so, they are following the same kind of fool's path that Stalin took with Hitler. Iran, by it self, could never pose the threat and take over significant territory, but under the right combination of events, the whole of the Muslim Southern Hemisphere could be combined into a new Super Power - something we have been trying to prevent. The Russians, like the Chinese, are playing a game along the razor's edge.

The Chinese have a much longer view in mind. It benefits them to drain us. They learned this lesson from the cold war. We won because we drained the Russians of their treasure and industry. We converted the Soviet from an industrial super power, into almost a 3rd world country. We did it by out spending, and out producing, the technology of warfare. They simply couldn't keep up. We also did id by fighting the War in Viet Nam (which I will explain one day - we won!) In the end, their focus and isolation destabilized them, and a single trigger brought the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to its knees!

The Russians were relatively easy, because they are basically the same as us - we all share common history and culture. The Chinese on the other hand are more difficult - we do not share the same culture, but at least we have similar values of peace and family. Fortunately, with the rapid expansion of their economic development, prosperity brings more western values and culture into their daily lives. I think in the end, we will find that they and we are close enough to share real common ground.

But some in the Chinese government clearly have not forgotten the past. The remember, American troops in Beijing (yes dear readers, we DID occupy China - ever see the John Wayne movie, or the one with Steve McQueen? check them out). They also remember what Japan did to them - this alone may never be forgotten, and our unswerving alliance with Japan causes constant friction for the Chinese. Like elephants, they never forget. They also have the world view, as the oldest civilization on the planet, that they have the divine right to rule the world. In times past they could easily have done it too!

So we find ourselves in a new cold & hot war. Hot war in the Muslim world, cold war in Eastern Asia. With North Korea now on the brink, we are facing serious choices. North Korea has now shown that they have the potential to strike at least two US States, and numerous territories.
So what do we do?

Chinese and Russia only respect one course of action, as does any action driven society. That course of action is just that ACTION. But not token moves. Both of these groups respond to the constant force that pushes them back. Under Reagan's presidency, constant force was applied in the Americas, and Communist foothold after foothold was take away. We did the same in Afghanistan. The communist sphere was reduced to the core countries. We learned this approach in Viet Nam, where we withdrew in success.

What, we won in Viet Nam? Yes, we did! What was our goal there to begin with? Our goal was to stop the march of communism and the expansion of China! While we fought a bloody war with a Marxist government in North Viet Nam, what we actually did was to provide that constant pressure of Russia, and drain a very militant power of its willingness for conquest. At the end of the Viet Nam war, Viet Nam itself was exhausted, and so totally sick of war that it turned inward. They had won their country, but gave up any ambitions of spreading. Only with the holocaust in Cambodia, did they perform a humanitarian act of occupying that country (actually with our blessings). SO the result was that the Domino Theory, was both held true, and with our success, stopped dead in its tracks. Even to the extent that when the Chinese, so displeased by the new domestic focus of the Viet Namese, tried to invade and take over Viet Nam. With a strange kind of perverse irony, the U.S. kept the Chinese off of the high seas, and forced the Chinese to invade by land. With the knowledge so hard won, the Viet Namese forces defeated the Chinese and pushed them back to their border. Today, like most of the former Soviet allies, Viet Nam, even still a socialist country, is more aligned with the U.S. than the Russians or the Chinese.

So here we are today. A nuclear madman in Korea, and another in Iran. One being supported by the Russians, the other by the Chinese. Both exist because of this support, and only this support. Where do we go? What do we do? The answer has been plain for 5 years. The answer is force, but not the kind of force that ties one hand behind our back, and shows weakness to the unrelenting enemy of OUR culture and civilization.

In Iran, there is some hope, since the people of Iran share much culture with the west. They have not been so long removed from the world community to have forgotten the best of our ways. But North Korea knows no path but that of Orwell's 1984. North Korea is not, and has never been a viable nation amongst other nations. They are just a puppet, of a madman, and a calculating giant laying nearby. The answer is to stop fearing war on the Korean peninsula, and get it over with while WE still have the advantage. Bring down the government in the North, and either give their people a chance or cede the resultant population to the Chinese. At least with a Chinese administration in the North, the South would have stability for a while. Though ultimately, the whole Korean peninsula will be absorbed by the Chinese, and there is nothing we can do to stop it long term.

Strange how the Japanese always knew that Korea was the key to their survival. They also knew that China would always pose their greatest threat. In typical fashion, we have held the line, but also blown the opportunities to change the course. In the time we were in China, we COULD have effected real change and created a sustaining democratic government, but we chose to cut and run in the end. That created the opportunity that helped shape the environment for Mao.

America is both the hope of mankind, and its darkest warrior. No other nation since Rome has so shaped the world, and is capable of such force. What most never give credit to, is that America is also the most restrained in the use of that force. We have demonstrated such a degree of morality as to be willing to sacrifice our own, to save our foes.

But the time is coming, when we will have to set aside that restraint again as we did in World War II. Because this time, as was the case then, the coming war will be for our own very homes and the lives of our children. This time, it will not be Germans, or Japanese, sailing to our shores. This time, it will be extreme Muslims aboard Chinese ships. And by the time that we see the whites of their eyes, the war will be lost, and America will be no more!

"O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,"

Can we yet give proof through the night that our flag was still there?Is this yet the land of the free and the home of the brave?

"On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:"

Is it the end of our lives, the lives of our children, then end of our dream? Is it the end of all we fought so hard for? Is it the enemy long waiting for the fateful day? As they sail into our harbors, and march through our towns?

"'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:"

In the time to come, none will come to our aid. We are all there has ever been. Have we not learned this time after time? It is our shoulders that have always bared the weight. To be sure, we are not perfect, and have done our share of horror, with the best of intentions. But America learns its mistakes and carries the guilt, yet that same guilt may be our ruination.

"O thus be it ever when free-men shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: In God is our trust!
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

But there is still time, time for Americans of good intention to realize this is not negociation, but a war. Not a conversation, but survival. When you fight an enemy that send their own children to their death for no purpose but martyrdom, how can you have common ground? But not all in their lands see the way they do, we must use strength against the foe, and justice for the masses.

We are doing that now, though many do not see it.

We all need to see it: to come through, through the night, with our star-spangled banner still there!
