GNR: First, I would greatly appreciate if you would stop personifying the acts or non-act of United States onto me. I have never (at least per your knowledge) taken part in any US foreign policy decisions or actions. Nor will I answer for them. So unless you want me to start asking you to speak on behalf of all the people of your native country I would appreciate a change of wording in your questions going forward. I'm simply playing a "Devil's Advocate", per your OWN request I may add.
No one is arguing that throughout it existence, US has always been a political prostitute, siding with whatever side was beneficial to them in the end. Regardless, just because it selfishly looked out for it's own objectives, does not make it at fault of all other world problems.
Now, India vs. Pakistan....why is U.S. even involved in this discussion??....Wasn't this f*ed up by the British back in 1947 when the British Indian Empire started their handy partitioning work? (imho: lets just say that dividing up land...is not our friend's greatest gift...need I mention Israel...Pale.....I'll just be quiet now).
Tibet- US has always supported Tibetan independence (and has recently given the Dalai Llama (Big hitter the Llama... long
)the Congressional medal of honor....). However, would the Tibetan independence be worth fighting a war with China? The answer is obvious....NO. Why not? Well, some would argue that China is currently quickly achieving a status of the second "Superpower". China is US' largest trading partner and still represents the cheapest available labor for US manufacturing. Thus, by going to war with China, US would quickly undermine their own economy. However, even if US could change the image and focus of its economy toward full investment in the military capital and goods (as has been in the past two World Wars) it still cannot fight China....in a conventional sense. China's military capacity is strong and a conventional war against China cannot be won (It's basic math....you simply can't manufacture that many bullets). Thus, any large scale conflict involving China and US would without a doubt lead to World War III (which eventually would have to go Nuclear). I'm not going to bother with the details.
As far as Burma......it is despicable to see the entire world watch to the slaughter of defenseless and do nothing about it. US is not the only one to blame...... shameless.
Having the rest of the world and their citizens sit on the sidelines and waiting for a Big Brother to come and rescue them from their problems, will only prolong their suffering. To quote a rough translation of the Soviet proletariat song during the Russian Revolution - "No one will give us salvation, not God, not Tsar and not a hero, we will only achieve our freedom by our own hand" - Ironic? yes....but the spirit of it is still very meaningful...... Unless people rise up and overthrow those who oppress them, they will always live under the thumb of the powerful. Once you figure out how to remove all the corruption for whatever new "ruling system" you institute, please feel free to write book.
Like many empires before her, US will probably fall, driven by the corruption, moral degradation and stupidity from within.
However, the rest of the world would not be in for happier times. Pick your poison my friend, the imperial arm of oil companies provides a much cushier place to sleep than the empire of the crescent moon and sword. And if you have daughters, you'd prefer the former as well.
RANT OVER.
