5. If historians like Paul Kennedy and Chalmers Johnson are to be
believed, we will become an economic basket case if we haven't already.As it is if our debt is not being bought in vast quantities by China and Japan we would have reached such a status already.So long as our people continue to believe in the inherent evil of our fellow human beings of a different religion and different skin color and have a lifestyle that makes them impervious to seeing the humanity of other people, nothing is likely to change.This is why I believe along with people like Chalmers Johnson that a collapse of confidence in our rulers' judgement is necessary.If it happens by economic collapse, it is probably better than a military collapse as happened in Vietnam because at least it will prevent the deaths of our soldiers who have no say in the mad policies of this administration.

I only have to refer you to the obstinate support Hitler had till his dying days from odrinary Germans to support my thesis.
