Does America really have an alternative to Bush? I ask this, as it seems that people are so fed up with Bush that John Kerry is the person America is looking for to start to heal and re-establish relations with those countries that have hard feels towards America due to the Iraqi war.
One thing that keeps getting broadcasted on CNN is Kerry stating that no US personal in uniform will not be held hostage because of America’s dependency on oil.
I’m not sure how Kerry will accomplish this, as he himself states in that statement, that Americans are dependent on oil. This is also well documented with America, a country that has less than 5% of the worlds population, consuming 25% of the worlds energy resources.
If Kerry is elected, will he implement a program to get Americans to reduce their consumption of the world’s resources? This really would be the only way, though being an American, I know that once you have tasted what we taste in the West as to what it feels like to live in excess, getting it out of our system is almost impossible. I guess if he could do this, he would reduce tension among the countries that America bleeds of their resources to feed their parasitic, dependent population. It may even take a huge bite out of terrorist acts aimed towards America.
Talking about what can be done to reduce terrorism in the world, that question has been asked on CNN to its viewers over the last few weeks. For the most part, people have been saying that we need to increase the resources of law enforcement so they can better battle terrorists. I’m still waiting for someone to say that we have to understand the reasons for terrorist acts, which I understand to be a reaction to an attack of some kind, that powerful groups or nations make (like bleeding resources from a country to feed your resource dependent population), which depending on how you look at it, is in itself a terrorist act.
The best and most recent example of what I am stating above would have to be the Iraqi war and America leading an invasion and takeover. The reaction has now been what America is calling acts of terrorism, with the taking of hostages of persons who work with the invaders and making demands for withdrawals or else the hostages will be killed. Now one could say that this is an act of terrorism, or one could say that this is an act of self-defense and a different way of fighting a war against the invaders of their country.
In short, things in the world are messed up and until we as humans wake up to reality and in our own personal ways set things right as to what we as individuals do to others and understand that by being dependent on resources that nature intended for others to take for ourselves by manipulation or force is wrong. Until we do this, this world is not going to get any better, young people in uniform will continue to go to war for oil, there will continue to be massive famine, common people will be deprived of a promising future and acts of terror will strike all over the world against those groups or nations responsible.
