Re: [RT] THE UK SPECTATOR: How America went for broke

["David Jennings" <davidjennings@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ralph, as one of the "internationals" on this 
list, I believe you a being a tad sensitive. Can't see EU implied 
when bragging about other regional economies. As an article, it all seems 
pretty old news and not particularly well argued. One should also have 
read of the article by Iain Duncan Smith on "Why we must stick by America" 
or "The fascist sympathies of the soft left", are bettered 
argued, and more properly reflect the Spectator's stance in international 
relations.  Indeed if one were to read the current issue 
then a considered view on whether  Political 
correctness has led to intelligence failures in the US or whether t<SPAN 
class=fpsummary>he EU is using the war against terrorism to threaten our freedom 
were out of balance also.
 
As a regular subscriber to 
the Spectator, it is more pro USA and EU sceptic (or do I mean septic?) than say 
the Economist or the New Statesman. Frankly, to accuse the Spectator of drivel 
on the basis of one article would be doing it and your allies a disservice 
and not contibute to the cause of the US.

  I read the article in the UK Spectator and I'm really annoyed. 
  It gives the impression that everyone else in the world in holier than thou 
  and has no responsibilities in this WORLD economic implosion -- it's only 
  American greed. The sublime message was that America alone is the demon 
  because it worshiped the stock market. Well, how about you SLAWEKP, aren't you 
  following the stock markets? And how about all the other internationals that 
  are part of this list? Don't you guys and gal also have a stake in it? I'm 
  really getting sick and tired of people attempting to dump on my country. Ask 
  yourself, how did the American economy suck up vast resources from the rest of 
  the world to feed our capital markets? It was plain greed by everyone else 
  willing to contribute for greed, and we all share in this as human beings, 
  even you SLAWEKP. As for this recession, it's world-wide and not just here. As 
  for selling off much of our industries, the Japanese bought a lot before their 
  collapse in the '80s and then we bought most of it back at fire sale prices, 
  and maybe the same will happen again. As for China having an asian market to 
  buffer its economy, bunk! Most of their trade is with the US. If we stop 
  buying the junk they produce by slave labor, you'll see what over capacity 
  really is. China will have the same over capacity as all that unlit fiber the 
  article talked about. Also, the article subtly tends to brag about the other 
  regional economies, the EU not mentioned, but implied. Well, between North and 
  South America, we have a pretty damned good infrastructure, as well. America 
  has been the world's energizer battery and all that prevails, lately, is a 
  gleam in some eyes that we appear to be stumbling and in the worst case 
  there's outright jealousy and hostility, as we've seen with the WTC attack. 
  The more I read dribble like that in the UK Spectator, the more I become an 
  American that would be very happy to return to isolationism -- screw the rest 
  of the world. As all humans are greedy, they are also hypocrites. I'm fully 
  coming to understand Caesar's remark: "et tu Brutus!"
