Arms Sales Begin at Home(Needs registration).
An article on the famed american foreign policy, and the recent squat between the two "Gaints"..agreed US and EU comprise the world's richest and the powerful. But to say that the two pillars of global stability are US and EU is nothing short of self-consolation and self fulfilling prophecy.

And the U.S. and E.U. really are the pillars of global stability.

- THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

You thought we didn't know what these pillars were doing when one went on war with Iraq unilaterally. When american rampaged through the european objections, where was this fraternity Mr.Friedman???...Why is this sudden brotherhood and realisation. You yourself had answered my question.

"This is especially true since the real reason that the E.U. wants to end its arms embargo with China is to position itself better to sell more Airbus passenger jets to Beijing"

Now the cat is out of the bag... Boeing is screwing Bush is it???...Boeing is trailing in the global civilian aircraft arena. It can no longer be the monopoly supported by the police uncle - the US government. It is sustaining itself with the military orders from the government and some arms exports to friendly countries...It's hope of selling aircrafts(both civilian and military) to China would be washed white, if what you say is true.....So, you masquerade your business interests with balance of power argument with Taiwan..stop shedding crocodile tears...Dubhya.....If you guys are really concerned about Taiwan's power and status, go ask it to declare Independence and Freedom from China and back it...
Uncle Sam....It's too late in the day...Ofcourse China is by no way good or nice..yeah..it is rogue when it comes to human rights record..yeah it bans Google news...so what??..Had this happened in India, would these guys be quite....I think Gun definitely speaks louder than Words and coupled with gold, it just simply screams....
Plain arrogance...inability to accept realities...and a nose that is made to be inserted everywhere...what do you get???...Current day America..
BTW, Iam no America basher....it's just the attitude of the present leadership that sux....
