If you want to be in charge of a country (especially for very long), you have to stare at a map of the known world and ask yourself: "How many men? How much in materials? What would it take to destabilize that regime right there??? You do this even if you don't want to because if you don't, other countries are playing the same game with your country on a map on their wall. When it comes to ruling a nation, playing this game "comes with the job".

Mexico (if not China and Russia) are playing this game too and that's fine. The game has been played since there was a tribe of men on either side of a hill. More on this later.....

First we started with military conquest (sticks and stones). Then with the invention of writing, we added diplomatic conquest (conquest by treaty). In the 21st Century we also have economic conquest (victory by amassing actual resources until the chosen enemy cannot cope with the situation).

At the risk of regret, I'm going to bring back an old sick joke to make a point. The joke was that "...any other black man in America would already by in prison for what O.J. Simpson did." The truth is....any man (black, white, or polka-dotted) would already be in prison for spending OUR money like Obama does.

It is my belief that Obama (or his successor) will bleed us ("We the People") to death before much longer. In other words, if they keep printing money like long, hard, and fast enough, sooner or later something is going to break.
