smurph...i`ll have to respectfully disagree to an extent on the european situation...
not the population growth part....the economies are basically stagnant....due to rampant socialism...
in france,they`ve given cart blanche to muslims who want to come there...even though there aren`t any jobs for them....
(we actually have jobs for our illegal alien population...for now..still,they are a drain on our system....we`d better look at europe...and learn the lesson that you must control your borders)....
france is basically a socialist state...and the muslims...many of which live in ghettos....are receiving a sort of welfare from the french state....
housing,medical care,food....etc....
it`s a dead end situation....it just can`t work....
now we see that the frogs are reaping what they`ve sown....
rampant radical islamic fascism....a burgeoning,dangerous china...
and no one seems concerned with nuclear proliferation....
you have the leader of iran saying that israel should be wiped off the face of the earth....
the leader of a nation going nuclear...no attempt at diplomacy...
they`re not even feigning diplomacy....they are just throwing their intentions out there...
the u.n. is useless...corrupt....pathetic..toothless....despite the potential for something the world has never seen before...
a real middle eastern war...a monster of a war..a nuclear conflagration....that will bring the world`s economies to their knees...
yet,the world has no stomach for playing policeman....
and the u.s. and britain are vilified for trying to keep the lid on pandora`s box...from politicians with agendas from within....and from unscrupulous,corrupt governments from without...who for some reason can`t see the forest for the trees...
again,the u.n. is corrupt and useless...
i`m very glad i`m not some young child growing up in today`s world....
it`s not going to get better...
