Since the corporate elite choose to see us rot, freeze, and starve...

Wouldn't it be cool if China and Saudi Arabia demanded their money back before the crash?

We said we'd be good for it.

Are YOU confident in our economy?

Hmmm. Thought not.

And we're just expendable pawns in their game.

How must their kings feel? Or do I mean queens, since the king just sits in one spot while she makes all the big moves? (there's the levity, sorry that's all I've got.)

1. what would we do? where would we get the money -- from japan

no i am not confident in our economy. i feel like china owns us and bush has the nerve to go over there and tell them to let their people have freedom of religion. saudi arabia i wouldn't worry about. we're saving their asses with our troops there. how long do you think those rich royals would last without us?

This may be the sword SA has hanging over our heads, to fight their wars.

5. The SA Saudi Royals are Islamic, at least "on paper"....

but living a party lifestyle, holding orgies on multi-million dollar yachts doesn't seem very Islamic. They also have tremendously strong ties with the West, do you remember the Kingdom Holding Company commercials? These were meant as positive PR pieces showing how they are using their funds in a positive way to buy into Disney, Time-Warner, Fox News, Citibank, etc. What many don't realize is that their funds are also being distributed and used by people like Abramoff and Osama. They are between a rock and a hard place, as may be the Israelis.
