recently marked the fifth anniversary of U.S. invasion on Iraq. Five years full of falsehoods, lies and many deaths have left a feeling of anti-Americanism in most of the Iraqi population. That feeling has spread throughout Afghanistan and many other Arab countries with the consequent ripple effect it can have.
However, for Mr. Bush, his strategy is successful, good and according to the times in "to fight against a deadly global threat, the" Islamist terrorism "as Mr. Bush has stopped saying in his eight years in office.
Eight years of UN passivity and conformism of EU. Eight years plagued by rivalries between the Western area (good) and the Arab (and bad). That thought is so deep that many still think the war in Iraq has served for more than just get oil and sell a few million more weapons to militias in al-Qaida in Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran. All have gained in this great fantasy: one, taking oil, other oil selling at cost price to the poorest countries, other govern a country without government control and without skipping international standards to the bullfighter, and above all, the whole the most powerful, yes, those that form the G-7, the richest countries industrialized, facing the other hand, criticizing the U.S. position average. A somewhat hypocritical stance, really.
addition, on the other end we have to the staunchest supporters of the invasion and almost Napoleonic policy of Mr. Bush. The much famed English ex-president, yes, José María Aznar has made a statement somewhat peculiar lately. He said the world is safer since Saddam took out of the way, terrorists are more disorganized than ever, the world is safer and a peaceful haven full Afghanistan and Iraq.
That's the world, about how to proceed criticizing Bush, and others praising. While Bush, who has taken to look, at last, to his home country has been plunged into economic crisis and in a competitive situation so low it's scary just thinking about it.
Right now, the U.S. is a giant with "feet of clay", an old machine without the strength to follow the great monster in this case China-without tiring on the road. A country that does not live from their own revenues, it does not. He has finished the "fuel", and most disturbing of all is failure of the dollar against the euro. A weakness accentuated by rising oil and commodity prices for corn and grain.
U.S. in recession, while its competitors is up to the "hump" without hesitation.
only thing left for me to think, is whether Bush will dare to invade or attack Iran in part to bring President Ahmadinejad and thus have an excuse to revive its economy which is so fond of: selling arms. That tactic has worked for over a century and a half, that and the millions of dollars that he intended to bribe and buy a lot of organizations, companies and organizations. But tap money runs out, as are ideas to revive the economy.
The Fed continues lowering interest rates while the stock weekly and gas are gradually losing. Deflate the economy, unemployment aumenta y la incertidumbre se extiende por toda Europa y el mundo.
Mi pregunta es: ¿Europa seguirá siendo el perro faldero de EEUU? Quizás si; sinceramente, esperemos que no.
