From the BBC:

The US will not shy away from attacking regimes it considers hostile, or groups it believes have nuclear or chemical weapons, the White House has confirmed.

In the first restatement of national security strategy since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the US singles out Iran as the greatest single current danger.

The new policy backs the policy of pre-emptive war first issued in 2002, and criticised since the Iraq war.

But it stresses that the US aims to spread democracy through diplomacy.

I suppose that George Bush’s model of diplomacy is his own version employed prior to America’s invasion of Iraq.  How many more lies can America take?  How much more are we able to consume and believe, as a whole, before we revolt?  Can there, at this point, truly be that many people still sitting in the dark?  I fear that the answers are still unbelievable.

As a function of the continued factors for aggression, here is a new list of political targets for George Bush’s America:

Stressing US preference for “transformational diplomacy” and coalition building, but not necessarily within United Nations or Nato frameworks

Criticising the lack of democratic freedoms in Russia and China

Branding Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez a “demagogue” aiming to destabilise the region

Urging Palestinian radical group Hamas to recognise Israel, renounce violence and disarm.

and a new list of potential enemies:

In a nod to previous high-level foreign policy statements, which singled out individual countries as potential enemies of the US, the new document highlights seven “despotic” states.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Iran’s president has taken a hard-line position

They are: North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Belarus, Burma and Zimbabwe.

The issue we all face is that while our taxes (extracted from the poor and nearly non-existent middle class) are used in greater proportion for the propagation of America’s own dictatorial ways, we still worry about the small social issues that we think we face.  The greater evil is to ignore the wider scope of America’s lasting effect on the world and on peace itself while the administration, churches, and the media focus mainly on the evils of gay people, abortion, liberals, and intellectuals. 

Finally, this administration is bolstering up the simple Reaganesque Cold War stance it has taken throughout its tenure:

“When the consequences of an attack with WMD [weapons of mass destruction] are potentially so devastating, we cannot afford to stand idly by as grave dangers materialise.”

I understand that by keeping the people afraid, this administration can bilk us out of our earnings while dumbing us all down even further so that the Mob can scream with an even louder ignorance.  I know that in order for this aggression against the world to continue, we cannot educate ourselves and talk to each other informatively.  This fear for our brothers that is incubated by the simple-minded who lay about the throne is what destroys us and, if we don’t stop it ourselves, America.
