Can you say Entrepreneur

Syed,

Your preoccupation with the destruction of Israel is disturbing. Your fight starts at Isaac and Ishmael - Sons of Abraham. 4000 years ago. It is really time to get over it and join the 21st century. Islam has no concept of the word tolerance - but instead thrives in dominance. Ishmael "a wild donkey of a man"

Your world economic vision assumes that the world stays the same as it has been on for the last 100 years - or so.

Consider that the large majority of land that you are living on in Canada (shall I guess Brampton or Mississauga, Ontario) was all farm land 60 years ago - for as far as the eye could see.

In the last 100 years, technology has evolved at a very very quick rate. More technological advancements have taken place in the last 100 years than took place in 10,000 years previous. Based on this fact and the progression that technology continues to make - what makes you think OIL will still be the only viable solution - say even 30 years from now? Environmental conditions alone may demand a change.

China and India's economies are growing, but they are experiencing what most western style civilizations went through 40 to 60 years ago. The global village will grow, and the US may not be as strong as it was over the last 50 years - BUT - of all of the countries in the world - the US is the most likely to think its way out of its problems. This is part of its history - part of its nature. This is what happens when FREE people are truly allowed to think for themselves.

China and India - by and large - are NOT Muslim majorities. China and India will do what is good for China and India - not Muslims. If something else comes along that is a better alternative than OIL - they will buy it. And if that happens - what will become of the Middle East? What else is produced besides OIL? - that the world even wants. If the money flow out of the Middle East to Muslim communities around the world - like the Mosque's they paid for in Canada - is stopped - that would be a serious problem for the growth of the Muslim movement worldwide.

America may go through some tough times - no one can stay on top forever. BUT - It is also possible that the US will develop the next energy source, that is also environmentally friendly, and start to sell it to the world. It does not matter whether or not America has been environmentally friendly or not - and it does not matter if we have all of the engineers or not - these people get hired - from wherever in the world they exsist. Entrepreneurs steer the ship not engineers, computer programmers and bean counters.

Wise up and respect that the country you are living in. Say what you will - but your family probably moved to Canada - because you / they wanted a new start in a place that could offer you a great life - and I assume that Canada is delivering. The US and Canada are great friends from way back - show some respect - and while you are at it - learn what the word Entrepreneur means - because the US has more of them than anywhere else in the world - and we can change the entire world with one great idea. Entrepreneurs hire the engineers and techies of this world. Get it.

China and India have proven themselves to be great at being able to enslave their nations. While their standard of life is increasing, they have essentially become the sweat houses for cheap world labour. Power to em. It is one thing to play monkey see monkey do (like China and India are doing) it is quite another thing to truly create something - this is something neither has shown they can do - so far.

The game is not over until the fat lady sings - well - she is still eating - and we are just getting warmed up. The ones who should be afraid are the Muslims - only assets - OIL - what if OIL loses its value? That is a really really BIG what if.
