We are certainly NOT "losing ground in Afghanistan and Iraq". Add that to the fact that Germany is a second (or third) rate economy and your rant becomes ridiculous. There is no way that the rest of Europe is going to let Germany dominate them, and this time your "New Fuhrer" would not last. If worse came to worst, th US would take him our. I feel sorry for you, your "hero" died in 1945 and you have not found another one.

An economy is measured by many things, primarily GDP. Exports is a minor item. Al Minyard |

It would do everyone well to heed his warning. But people like you still think the US will remain the sole superpower forever. What utter stupidity. Unity is what is making China stronger. And European unity will make them stronger. Our nation OTOH is increasingly divided. Think about that. And don't start with how powerful we are since we are losing ground in Afghanistan and Iraq, haven't caught Osama nor Saddam, and haven't become any more secure with Homeland Security. We are just as vunerable to attack today as the day after 9/11. Rob I am kind of curious , since you mention a third party quote regarding germans, and that we should heed it. If to use an old internet deus a machina , and that some charismatic type comes onto the german political scene and captures imaginations , does the german population in your opinion , think that this time they could win ? Or does this have to be some pan european thing ? Declan O'Reilly |

"Kevin Brooks stories are correct China plans on building their own space station and perhaps sending a man to the Moon. The USA program to do this was a propaganda stunt at the time. Beat the Soviets at all costs. There were of course scientific spin-offs but if science was the primary goal, why did they only send one planetary geologist to the Moon? Because the geology could better be done here on earth? Hard to do the old "taste test" (trust me, such a critter does exist in the field of "seat of the pants" geotech engineering) in the vacuum of space . According to the following web page Bush and NASA are considering going back to the Moon. I wonder why???? Another space race in progress perhaps! The Moon of course belongs to the USA, they planted a flag and played golf! ;-) http://www.spacedaily.com/news/beyondleo-03a.html Ed |

Beware the Japanese `ji(do)hanbaiki', a fiendish device full of drinks, junkfood, cigarettes, newspapers and porno-videos and without the need for humans to man it :-) You do know, of course, that 7-11 is a Japanese corporation these days? The Japanese subsidiary raised enough cash, and bought out the parent company. And for all the Japanese vending machines I've ever seen, I haven't seen one that dispenses junk food yet. Ice cream, yes, but no candy bars, chips, etc. Strange. Seen the porno ones, though...my advice is to skip 'em, it's all censored...and avoid the condom machines, too, they're too small for us Westerners... |
