Re: International Waters?
Yeah well weighing everything up as fairly as I can, I think I'd rather take my chances with the madmen of the USA than the madmen of Iran. The USA cops a lot of flak for the simple reason that, despite what the Chinese or Russians may claim/ say etc, they are still the most powerful single nation on Earth. If it was Equatorial Guinea instead of them, they would cop it. Whoever has the most guns, lawyers and money will always cop the most flak. I've lived there; San Francisco and New Jersey. Sure it's a crazy place but it is AMAZING!.and fun and cool and you can be whatever you want to be if you want it bad enough. You can follow whatever religion you want. And if you're a woman you won't get stoned to death or set on fire if you are unfaithful to your husband. POwer is not just about things military or economic. Where is the Iranian Bob Dylan?...Seen any great Iranian stage shows lately?...Been any Iranian rock bands selling our O2 stadium lately?....Where is the great Iranian jazz, blues, Symphonies?...POwer is cultural as well. I'll take My own country, Britain or the USA any time. Mad?..maybe. BUt at least we live in the 21st century. And btw. We DO have the Chinese navy patrolling off our shores. They are OK. All they want from us (so far) is to plunder our supermarkets of all the baby formula. But when they start building bases on the Barrier Reef or Papua New Guinea.I think we might start to worry.
