Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes! Mostly economic and social destuction, but in
Iraq physical destruction as well! Recently South Korean farmers publicly
commited suicide as an act of protest against flooding their countries markets
with cheap American produce, which would destroy their livelihood and way of
life. We have already badly damaged Latim American economies with unfair trade
arrangements. We are unpopular in the world due to our destructive political
end economic practices, not because they are envious of the MTV.The world is in
the process of constructing an economic trade system that is independant of the
American one, with the strenthening Euro likely to replace the Dollar as the
standard measurement of trade. China’s economy is growing at an unheard of rate
of 10% a year, and has been for the last 25. They are making energy deals with
Venezuala, Russia, and the Mideast markets which make the U.S. government very
nervous. This whole mess we’ve made in Iraq in the name of 911 and security has
to do with grabbing as much of a dwindling oil supply as we can, while in the
process showing the world that we are the sole surviving superpower with a
badass military, and we’re not afraid to use it! If your not convinced that oil
was the reason, then why is the U.S. recieving 70% of the oil produced in Iraq,
the world’s fifth largest proven reserve, when pre-war we we’re revieving 0%?
and the cost of gasoline has increased 900% for Iraqi citizens, and they have to
import it?
The concequences of our actions haven’t quite made it stateside yet, but the
story isn’t over yet either.
In case you think I’m just a Bush basher, I don’t particularly discern much
between the parties- they essentially have the same goal, just slightly
different ways to approach them. Both are beholden to corporate interests at
the expence of the citizen .
Thank God 2005 is over!
Lets hope the world fairs a little better in 2006.

All I've seen is 2 of the most horrific economic disasters strike during Bush's tenure (9-11 and Katrina, neither of which can be attributed to the Bush Administration), and yet our economy still grows.
