by metric on 2006-02-01 05:43:17The balance of power in the world is strongly skewed toward the United States Military. The sovereignty of "rogue states" is being threatened based on those state's resources. The USSR isn't there to check US power anymore. It's clear to me that the EU is being forced to unite in an attempt to counter the US on foreign policy.
The argument I'm trying to raise is that the US was founded on the importance of seperation of power. Here it is today absorbing all the power it can, either from its own people or from foreigners.
The attacks by Osama have brought attention to this inbalance of power to the people of the world. In the US, the reasons for the attacks have been propagandized. The US government says they hate us because we are free?
The attack on Iraq was to leverage OPEC. If Osama is trying to wake the US public up as to what our government is really motivated by, then I think he is trying to make the world a better place.
