Because if America could really look at how she got to where she is; she might be able to slow the burials of American soldiers to be memorialized in their turn!

At a terrific blog (http://stationcharon.blogspot.com/ ) another writer is being highlighted today. The essay by Dmitri Orlov is so thought provoking, and so well written that it should be gift wrapped and stuffed in mailboxes around the nation. Especially the 535 mail boxes of the House and Senate. Even if I am not in total agreement with all of his analysis, I think large portions of what he says really speaks to where we are going; I have said the same myself with less to work on. Note the blogroll and get a cup of coffee and go read: Post-Soviet Lessons for a Post-American Century

A Tiny Teaser: “But these are all details; the point I really want to make is that proposing resource wars, even as a worst-case scenario, is still a form of denial. The implicit assumption is this: if all else fails, we will go to war; we will win; the oil will flow again, and we will be back to business as usual in no time. Again, I would suggest against waiting around for the success of a global police action to redirect the lion’s share of the dwindling world oil supplies toward the United States.”
