As some where in the thread jake3d pointed out... Its the economy as the summary factor that influences the mightier to plunder (The same was done by Romans, Greeks, Moguls, etc..,) and weak to remain exploited. This scenerio will last for ever and ever, there might be the change of players at some point (I don't really foresee anything at this point). Its a very wrong perception from most of the people to expect peace and justice, wet dream of a world of peaceful Utopia.... certainly it is a Mirage.. we are never going to see one as such never came into being and never going to be.
Another huge misconception. "China and India are going to be Super powers in another 50 years". Its a far cry. Mark my words, USA will remain super power and I am very positive there wouldn't be any contender as the only alternative defiant (Communism) was buried a decade ago. China and India are not really going to be Superpower any time soon. Again the same wealthy people have created this illusion after they've re-adjusted their investment strategy. Their expectation on an average to invest in India and China so that they see a good return. If you or any one really has sufficient facts to back the theory of China and India are going to be the Super Power, bring it on.
China has long relented its Communist policies, Sonia / Manmohan / Chitambaram are earnestly implementing the what is in some one else's agenda. Why would I still think India and China will be a Super Power one day.
The moral of my theory is the same pointed out else where in the thread "Survival of the Fittest", The mightier will continue to march and will always make sure there isn't a resistance to confront....

My hunch is that now USA will try to destroy China by dividing it or else will have to play second fiddle to China. However, China's dictators (read communist party bosses) are smarter than Saddam and it will be interesting to watch which country emerges as super power in next 10 years.
Only other threat to their SUPER POWER could have been from India, may be 25 years down the line but Sonia mata and her joker stooge Manmohan (or MADmohan) have accomplished much of task to destroy India in two years(by diving people of India and ensuring that bright people do not come up in life and those who still manage to get educataed, migrate to Westen countries like we all have done) and hence threat has been managed nicely

I gotta to do little bit of intense digging on the links you've forwarded.
You've also said "Democracy is the reason Michael Moore could make such movies".... Know what, Michael Moore and bunch of other activists are part and parcel of the democracy package being sold in the Market. It poses risk and causes some damages too but the rewards are huge.. .. You can't sell a flawless product, Plant some defects to divert the attention.... Chances are high.
What does Michael moore suggests or his movies lead to. Mostly they pass real absurd message and confusing..
Watch Rogers and me - Can I arrive at a realistic conclusion.
Watch Bowling for Columbine - same
Farenheit 9/11 - same.
Lots of his television programs - same.
Syriana, jarhead etc.., (not his product though) - same..
and I am concluding here without a conclusion, yet to go...

I am quite skeptical of that claim too. However, between India and China, I'd bet on China over India. They do seem to have a singular vision. They do not have to bother about change in policy after elections , human rights, democratic process and things like that. e.g: their militiary expenditure is usually much above ehat they present in the Budget. Who the heck can be expected to object ?

Was Saddam really hanged?
There is the notion that he was whisked away to Montreal to join John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Bob Marley, John Bonham and the rest to rehearse for the Big Bang opening act for The Rolling Stones when they return to Canada once again.
5 million people are expected to attend that concert.
That will be a 'mother' of a concert bringing much 'satisfaction' to a multitude of people.
Have a grand celebration tonite and wishing you all an exhilarating New Year!

I can not agree more than what you are saying about the Supremacy being the chief factor and it will always be... I see its importance is missing in the early education and that is quite pathetic.... I wouldn't mind repeating this endlessly...
Justice / Peace / Democracy / Harmony / allegiance, support, protection to community & race all are buzz words... they are targeted to win moral (economical) support from all lazy bums ( making 90% of the world population) but hey you are still given a chance to a bite of the whopping pie that's won and thats the complacency factor behind unscrupulous interests of average citizens....
I might have just rephrased what you said but you've already captured the gist.. except the needed education on this at the earliest..
Bravo...folks....

I think we already have the conclussion. Part of being a power is to ensure that the others do not rise up to be able to challenge you. And in worlfd politics...self-interest(rather than justice/democracy) reign supreme.
e.g: Hitler could have gone killing all the Jews and nobody would bother. America and ita allies banded together to protect their own economic/strategic interests...not for the Jews.
Similarly Saddam could continue killing more millions of Iraqis till he threatened American economic interests.
Finally the conclussion maybe that we have to choose which devil we are more comfortable siding with in this battle for self-interests. We probably have to figure out where our own self-interest lie 'within' the two 'just' causes presented to us
