IT IS A SHAME WHEN THE WORLD NEEDS TO DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST AMERICA

There was once a time when the United States was considered the "good guy". Even when we were wrong, there were elements of our foreign policy that seemed to "make sense".

There was once a counterbalance to absolute global domination, this was the Soviet Union.

There is an INVERSE RELATIONSHIP between the level of U.S. global influence, and our level of constitutional rights and freedoms today. It seems that the more power Washington has, the lower the level of our citizens rights will be.

It is the opinion of Mikes Vacation that we were never as free in America as we were in the early to mid 70's when the Soviet Union was at the peak of her power. It is almost as if the U.S. government needed the competition to remain honest to her people.

Mikes Vacation hopes for the safe return of all our service men in Iraq, we support no malice to our soldiers and marines abroad.

However, it is obvious to Mike Vacation that if we "WIN" in Iraq, then we "LOSE" here at home.

The global conscious should understand that a state of "broken democracy" exists here in America. There is no effective mechanism for the people to control the war criminals in our government and from the special interests (war profiteers) that control and support them.

It is a sad day at Mikes Vacation when the freer peoples of the world should be advised to "arm themselves" if they do not wish to become our victims. It is a terrible state of affairs when the smaller and weaker countries should be wise to purchase "Russian weapons" if they do not want to become our "next victim".

Perhaps if the people of Iraq had owned a sufficient quantity of the Pansir-1 weapons system, some of their deaths could have been avoided. The United States will not attack any country that has a potential of defending itself.

A criminal war such as what was perpetrated upon Iraq cannot survive public opinion if there are enough America losses that the "broken democracy" that exists here in America is fixed by the grieving families of our soldiers and our country as a whole demanding sensible consequences to our leaders for their crimes.

However, small losses that aren't severe enough to jolt public opinion to action are deemed just a risk of doing business for the George Bush's and the Haliburtons of the country.

So, sadly, I must state that if a country does not want to become our next victim, they should arm themselves .
