Increased Gasoline Prices

When you look at the influential members of the George W. Bush administration and understand their histories with the oil industry you better understand why gasoline prices are where they are and why the administration has remained silent on the subject. You also understand the attack on the Taliban government in Afghanistan and the loss of focus on the war on terror. When you see the influence the members of the royal family of Saudi Arabia have over the members of the government of the United States you understand why they have no respect for America. As long as members of the government of the United States can leave government at the end of their terms and go to work for firms, organizations, etc subsidized by Saudi Arabia the people of the United States will remain captive to the oil industry and to its sugar daddy the Middle East. What I find the mot problematic is the silence of the members of Congress. The rulers in the middle-east obviously have no respect for George Bush or this country and feel free to treat this country any way they like.

When you look at the individual countries in the middle-east you see an overwhelming hatred of the United States and its leaders which includes Congress which includes you. When you look at the individual countries in Europe you see an overwhelming lack of respect for the United States and its leaders, which again includes Congress.

The leadership of the United States has become a nonentity in the world leaving this country in its weakest position in memory. While we get weaker our enemies get stronger.

We punish our soldiers for doing their jobs just to placate the uncivilized barbarians of the Middle East. The more you understand about the Islamic religion the more you understand it is not a religion of love but a religion of hatred and one that encourages killing non believers. The Geneva Convention is only valid when countries at war had agree to the convention. When we are at war with a people who did not sign the agreement we are not to be held to its limitations and should feel free to do anything necessary to win. We proved that killing civilians is a good thing; reference the atom bomb in Japan. Why do we condemn countries for using a proven tactic? We proved that hit and run tactics work reference our war with England and our war with North Viet Nam. Maybe it’s our hypocrisy that people hate the most.

We try to make everyone happy and make no one happy. Our enemies need to learn to fear us. We should be good friends and horrible enemies.

Someone in our government needs to develop a back bone and maybe it will be contagious.
