"Start WWIII, but i don't recommend it"--> Best one ever.
No, I suggest we skip WW3 and go directly to WW4.0. WW3 will be too costly in terms of lives lost and human misery and it will most like take at least 100 years to recover from it. WW4.0 on the other hand will be fought by computers and their human controllers and will probably be a lot more fun. The ongoing Wikileaks conflagration is a harbinger of what this war may look like. The United States, with its overwhelming arsenal of computer hardware and gamers should have no problem winning this one.
why is Tom Friedman mentioned as some kind of premier FP guru -- doesn't that guy get enough press?? worse, he's the ONLY one mentioned in the header!! are FP readers supposed to be impressed and drawn in?!?! for the love of god...
This proves that liberal, pompus, elitist, Noble Prize winners are just as clueless about as the liberal, pompus, elitist world leaders.
Please.
Let's be clear, there is no threat to world peace. The world must first be a peaceful place for that peace to be threatened.
china has money and america needs it
The USA may finally get over its notion of its own "exceptionalism"
why and how their money become amerca's?
FORIEGN POLICY IS BANKRUPTING U.S.
the U.S. has to declare peace sooner or later simply because it can no loger afford constant engagement in armed conflict. this reflects a sad state of the nation's morals and a rather poor excuse to do the morally correct thing. yet, peace will be declared as the direct result of empty coffers. the 'discovery' that feeding people is far cheaper than killing them, is the only reason the U.S. will finally be forced to stop it's present policy of insuring that an armed conflict is always in progress in at least one distant land.
peace is possible. but for the U.S. - it will only come because the nation can no longer afford war.
