This is a ridiculous article about the USA. All this is - is a opportunity for people to bash the USA. Yes - Serbia got bombed. Yes - Slobo did not care and thought he could take on "world powers". He was the little guy on the block and stupid to think he could take on the big guys. It is tragic what happened in Serbia but he did nothing to prevent it.

Let's bring this ball game little closer to us: Was the latest destruction and suffering in the Balkans worth it? Did the Balkans people ready to sort out problems some other way than Americans, or similarly -with violence and killing? What the f..k did you do to avoid and stop violence? Is everyone innocent because all was fault of the others?

Give me answers. But don't bs.

It doesn't what the cost, be it money, blood or limb the elites don't care.
The cost it not to them but all the spoils of war are.

...the phrase 'Burn, baby burn' was popularized. Here we talk about the cost to America, not the devastation brought to Iraq nor the million plus Iraqis who have died since the liberation. Pax Americana. For whom?

But this figure could grow to more than six trillion over the next four decades counting interest, the Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies said.

No problem,Bernake will come down on his new helicopter and will deliver the money.In the next couple of months they will be raising the debt ceiling again and I wonder whether President Obama will recall his speech at the senate back in 2006.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

Speech Given on U.S. Senate Floor Objecting To Raising Debt Ceiling Limit

Obama in office had to toe the line according to the wishes of the Corporatist mafia which rules the US.Politicians who have opposed the bankers in the past,normally they were killed. Two notable examples are US Presidents JF Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln both of whom allowed their governments to create their own money supply.

Not to worry, Albanians and Mad Albright still think it was worth it. We can add the death of 500,000 Iraqi children to that also (in the first war). Check -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omnskeu-puE
