The sovereignty of nations or expansion

[samiaseo222]

What happened as we continued to watch reruns of the Twin Towers falling to the ground? China became a full member of the WTO while our minds were busied with “the event.” In the past, there has been great opposition to this oppressive communist nation entering the globalist “free trade” arena. Instead, we have been entranced into a state of patriotic, catatonic shock as we fly the U. S. flag everywhere to demonstrate the “unity” of our condition.

We cannot produce enough U.S. flags here at home to supply the demand, so our new partner in commerce, China, is cranking them out in their factories. Is there something wrong with this picture?

Do we really have an enemy here? Did some “them” do phone number list something to “us.” And who are “they?” Economic alliances seem to carry more force these days than military alliances. Former soviet nations are now our NATO partners. Europe is uniting under a single currency. Russia, once our enemy, competing in an arms race of mutually assured destruction, now receives billions of dollars of our foreign aid. Globalism, like it or not, is the wave washing over our future.

War, in our time, is more about the color of money than of their borders. Who will be our enemy in an age of an interdependent and interlocking global economy? Does this mean we are finally destined to an age of peace and prosperity? And what are the consequences of a transition to peace for a humanity whose history is punctuated by war?
