Early emails to a topic on US Democrats blog & cartoons now, 9:27am. Just answered [G] J. with: "Western Democracy #1001:Peace US-Taiwan [Iraqi forces 'outweigh US troops']" ""[Tsai 05.4.12=2 #1] I'm trying to prepare for my tax return, but wouldn't it be nice if this Iraq War IS actually the last human wars? We still remember very vividly the teaching of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the G. Washington of the Republic of China, that governments should be overturned by vote rather than by bloodshed, the whole point! Sometimes it's done by subversion and vote altogether also, as done by our G. Washington, former President Lee Teng-hui in Taiwan. So, now we still have this ROC, which is ACTUALLY the Republic of Taiwan, (We, the Taiwanese elected directly him as our President, not by any Chinese.) or the Free Nation of Taiwan, as declared by our ancesters in 1895, when the Manchu Ching China handed us over to Japan bloodly. ANY problems, human problems should be solved without bloody violence. No death penalty! That is the WESTERN, or at least European civilization. Now China is building up its military aiming at a significant quality, in addition to building partnership with Russia into Central Asia, and with India. But, according to the ancient Chinese strategiest Sun-tze, winning psychologically without war is the best way. Why is it necessary to bomb, shoot, and murder anyway?""

AlterNet, posted April 12, 2005: http://www.alternet.org/story/21731/ "" So, even while publicly focusing on Iran's weapons of mass destruction, key administration figures are certainly thinking in geopolitical terms about Iran's role in the global energy equation and its capacity to obstruct the global flow of petroleum. As was the case with Iraq, the White House is determined to eliminate this threat once and for all. And so, while oil may not be the administration's sole reason for going to war with Iran, it is an essential factor in the overall strategic calculation that makes war likely. Michael T. Klare is a professor of peace and world security studies at Hampshire College and the author of Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Dependency on Imported Oil (Metropolitan Books).
