The U.S. has a wholly different approach to securing oil and gas resources to protect our future. We have been very active in carrying out military actions in the Middle East, specifically Iraq since 2003 and Afghanistan since 200l. We have a military budget of nearly $1 trillion, and we have the largest budget deficits and national debt among the developed industrial nations. We are ??the premier ? debtor nation.
The U.S. has, for decades, been laying the foundation for a permanent presence in the resource-rich regions of the Middle East and Central Asia. But this aggressive military based strategy has now shown to be unsustainable as more and more nations in those regions are finding ways to counteract our intentions.
America is now
at yet another critical crossroads and our leaders must come to the realization
that they are following a disastrous faulted strategy; one that has not worked
and will never work. It is now time for President Obama to take America off the
disastrous course that it has been following and turn this nation in a
completely new direction.
If this nation and our leaders cannot find a way to break free itself from the current obsession with using only military might and war to solve critical problems, then there is no hope for the perpetuation of our democracy.
