[the truth]

Just thought Id throw out a nice easy one for you to ponder lol

Having watched several documentaries , including john pilgers films and oliver stones recent 9 part series on the untold history of America...I have to admit the jury is out

They are the worlds police force. But do we need them to be?

If they were not and all decisions were left to the united nations or nato or other international commitees....would the world be a better safer place?

after being at war with itself,America has been at war with endless countries for the last 100 years....

But its easy to sit on the sidelines and list all the countries Americas has bombed (over 60 I believe) and all the people its killed and the democratic governments its overthrowed....however if they hadn't done it, would it have been left to the United nations anyway?

Some lines in these documentaries stay with you....the secret of all empires has nothing to do with greater intelligence or knowledge or some greater calling to make the world a better place...its driven by greed and delivered by organized violence.

Is America asks oliver stone, a nice idea that's simply outgrown its original ideals...in becoming so expansive is it even possible to stay close to those ideals in dealing with the entire world and a rapidly changing world

other than the endless wars, the most depressing part is the fact the gap between rich and poor is now greater than ever.....bankers in Europe earn 30 to 40 times the average workers wage....but in America...BANKERS EARN AN AVERAGE OF 243 TIMES THE AVERAGE WORKERS WAGE!!!

the wealth of the top 1% in the world is almost equivalent to the rests put together...the number of billioanires has gone up from 41 to 469 in 20 years between 1987 and 2007 in the usa alone

chile mexico and turkey have the worst income inequality, America is 4th Israel 5th uk is 6th

rather ironic the 3 power brokers of world politics have the worst inequality...such phenomenal hypocrisy

other issues brought up were the corruption of the English languages, spin , propaganda, as orwell wrote first they will corrupt the language, rid it of its meaning then they will steal it

other issues surrounded drone strikes and the enormous trade in drones world wide now as the race to the bottom continues.....the control of the south Americas, the puppet governments, the drug cartels...the list goes on and on...the endless intrusion and erosion of civil liberties, stealing communications tapping phones by the millions etc etc

these documentaries are well worth a look and may influence your opinion onwhether America should be the police or should be policed
