Wikileaks may be a blessing in disguise. Politicians like Ron Paul have long advocated that America is not the worlds' police and that our country has its nose in too much of the worlds' business. In fact, Wikileaks reveals that some of our "strongest allies" are our worse enemies. Saudi Arabia, for instance wants America to attack Irans nuclear facilities while funding the construction of Mosques and terrorism around the world and in our "back yard".
Those terrorists that flew our own airplanes into the New York City towers were Saudi's, yet America attacked Iraq and now Afghanistan to "get even with the terrorists". Does that make sense, especially in light of what we now know through Wikileaks?
Some of the Tea Party Conservatives believe we should reward our friends and deny our enemies, when it comes to international aid. Why do we continue to fund countries that "bad-mouth" us every chance they get? What is the logic to spending American dollars and American lives in places that want to destroy this country?
Wikileaks can provide all of us throughout the world, a better perspective of how "politics" works, without the explanation of why it is being done, because there is no good reason for doing it. Take politics out of the equation; take the State Department out of the world scene and we would have a better understanding of who wants to be treated with decency and respect while treating others the same way. We could engage other countries in an open forum because we would truly know who is eager to make this world a better place. And when the countries that want only to destroy and rule over others become obvious, it would be easier to deny them any sort of assistance with good cause, instead of enacting "sanctions" that is meant to weaken a country's influence in the world, and makes the people of those countries suffer.
North Korea is a good example. South Korea is our ally and we are obligated through agreements to defend South Korea if it is attacked by her enemies. But, since China buys a lot of our debt, we are made weaker as a defender of our friends because China has a different view on the whole Korea issue. If called upon by our friends, we should honor our obligations and help put an end to the threats and attacks against them. It should be swift and decisive, and then we go back home to let the world know we mean business and that our allies can depend upon our country to help them in their time of need. That's what friends do; that is what has been agreed upon.
When Saddam Hussein attacked Kuwait, that country asked for our help. We gave it and that should have been the end of the matter. Our efforts were decisive and swift. We should be ready to defend Israel, if the need arises and the world should know that that is exactly what we will do, and just how swift and devastating the effort will be. THAT should be a deterrent to all who seek to destroy or rule over countries other than their own.
Then we should exploit our own resources to the extent this country is not blackmailed or manipulated via a world commodity, like crude oil. We have plenty in our own country and do not need to buy it or control the price of it, by not producing our own, which obligates us to an enemy nation bent on our destruction. Crude oil is the engine of the world economies. Nearly every country NEEDS oil or some derivative of it to exist. All plastics, including toothpaste tubes, computers, cell phones, cars, pens and pencils etc. are made from oil. For the time being, it is impossible to live without it. Then there are all of those automobiles, trucks, trains, planes, buses, tanks, ships, fighter planes etc. that need oil. Does that make any sense to you? ..... we deny our own natural resource production so we can be controlled by our enemy nations to not only regulate our economy but to also cause us to borrow money from them in order to do business in the world?
Yeah, the people responsible for leaking all of those secret documents should be tried for treason and when found guilty should be executed by our military.....but for now, we should praise them for exposing to the world just what the heck is going on in the world.
