Making Deals And Enemies
Whether it is an Axis of Evil, as President Bush has called it; or and Axis of Good, as President Hugo Chavez is calling it, there is most definitely an Axis being formed.
Chavez is continually maneuvering himself into more and more power and ultimately, given things that have been said between both parties, this could be a dangerous thing for the United States. We already have the growing powerhouse that is China to keep an eye on, and if we're not careful, we could face trouble from the south as well.
As it stands they are no real threat, but if they unite...
Which if Chavez has his way that is precisely what they'll do.
I am not trying to be a defeatist here, and I know that times have drastically changed over the last eighty years or so, but historically speaking around the year 2015, our one hundred year reign will expire.
This isn't something to dwell upon, merely something to address so we can avoid the mistakes that so many have made before us, and keep our position as the dominant world power.
