POSTED RESPONSES TO A COLUMN BY PAUL KORING IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
America's establishment is working hard to repeat the scenario of WWII in the Pacific.
Japan was never going to attack the U.S. but after a long period of
harassment, trade restrictions, and threats, Japan decided it had no
choice.
This is going to become the most dangerous and fearful effort facing Canada's current younger generation's time.
And it is completely unnecessary, just as was America's holocaust in
Vietnam where about 3 million people were slaughtered to maintain
America's presence in Asia.
Obama is just as much a creature of America's military-industrial complex as George Bush or Ronald Reagan.

Yes, but you forget that the United States, having the privilege of
the world's reserve currency, is in a unique position financially.
It has abused, and will continue to abuse, the nations around the world holding its currency.
It will continue inflating gradually or it may at some point devalue.
In either case, America will leave dollar holders around the world
"holding the bag,” no different in any respect than a conscienceless
fraudster like Bernard Madoff.
So not only does it promote war and violence, it cheats everyone to pay for its stupidity.
That is precisely how the immensely costly and pointless war in Vietnam was paid for.
I am only sorry that most people do not have a grasp of this reality
which allows America to behave as an unlimited fool in world affairs.
