By : Only a fool thinks they can win the game pyaling by the rules when the other side doesn't even know the rules exist. We've got a bit of a mis-match in the cultural mash-up here If there's one thing our leaders did get right in Vietnam, it's that the real battle is for peoples hearts and minds. The winning of the aliance with certain Iraqi leaders known as the Anbar awakening was probably more responsible for the increased success in Iraq than the Surge. It may be too late to change Osama's view of the west, but the children of the world is where the war for peoples hearts and minds is waged. As pathetic as it may be, the youth of the world love McDonalds, Mickey Mouse and MTV. American culture is pervasive in todays world and if not checked by our own restraints on relations will permeate the societies of the middle east. The growing relationship will have a reasonable likelihood of promoting peace if we don't poison the well with actions spawning hatred. In my lifetime, people including my father wanted to use nuclear weapons against China and Vietnam. In the last 30 years, increased cultural interaction and economic exchange with China and Vietnam have manage to form a growing peace that our military couldn't achieve. You've got to give Nixon credit for that. As painful as it might be to acknowledge that Dick significantly changed world history for the better, he has to be given credit for opening relations with China. While it's probably true that the cultural issues that separate the radical Islamic world from ours are more deeply ingrained than those that existed with respect to Vietnam and China, the vast majority of the Islamic world is moderate and doesn't view us as the great satan preached by Osama. And every kid who dreams of going to Disneyland or playin guitar on the MTV is one less kid who want to be a martyr.I don't ask or hope that America will relinquish the big stick. Only that when ever possible we peacefully increase our interaction with our potential enemies and create important economic ties to the those we might fear or who might fear us. Even the frightened animal usually learns that it's foolish to bite the hand that feeds them. Rate this comment: 0 0

By :Effectively this would be welfare at the exenspe of other countries like China.It would be throwing a snowball that will trigger an avalanche. US companies, retirement funds, etc, are all invested heavily overseas. Also China is not even the biggest creditor: the biggest is Japan, who has even more outstanding debt. Guess what they would do in such a situation I am not saying that can not happen but I agree with Scotsman: The outcome of all three scenarios is the same. Too bad Scotsman is trapped in the ideological pit when it comes to conclusions from what he sees. Rate this comment: 0 0

Well, look at it Well, look at it this way. SM64 waited until you had all 120 stars brfoee allowing you access to Yoshi and his unlimited supply of lives he stole from Mario every time he died, in revenge for being sacrificed for a second jump in hundreds of Mario World hacks. Who does he think he is? Stupid horse!Anyway, great find. Always good to see full-length Flash games like that. I look forward to the first Oracle game!
