So, in essence, we would be trading our devalued money for a valued good or service? I still keep thinking that no matter what, all will rock to the flow of the dollar, and if the boat sinks, we all go down.

It's coming, maybe not overnight but in years but China has shown it's hand. The dollar will eventually take a back seat unless we pull a serious rabbit out of our hat or the other side of the world starts WWIII with each other again.
I agree with Daemaro. Survival of the fittest, the weak will thin out, why keep them alive if they cant do it themselves. The US doesnt ask for help and we are just fine. Sure we are in a financial crisis, but it's nothing we cant get out of.
It's not really anything like that. I just think unless the situation truly threatens multiple other countries and possibly the world (IE: Nazis) then it's not our business. No one comes and kicks down our door and tells us how to run our country. So I wouldn't expect it to be the other way around.
How would you feel right now if you were eating a sandwich and someone came into your house and slapped it out of your hand and stomped on it?
Yeah I agree again. I mean some situations intervention is a must, like you said, NAZIS! OMG! But imperializing nations just for the sake of power and that we can do it is messed up.
O, and me personally would b**** slap you and say make my another sandwich f*****. lol
EDIT: the same priniciples apply for helping other nations gain their independence, I couldnt tell if we were talking about imperialism or independece, but same pirnicples apply.
it is cause u guys have soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much power military wise if u f*** with america ur screwed it is general knowledge
Unlike us Australians u f*** with us ...we drink.....:D
i have been learning about 1945-2000 imigration to Australia and dude we were soooo racist like i am not kidding to get into our country if u werent white you had to take a test but wat we did we gave the test in a language from a cuntry opposite to yours on the world map, that is all until 1972 when we turned opposite of racist like "are you asain... sweetoes come right in buddy"
Just seems to bite you in the ass more than it's worth.
Helping is one thing, sticking your nose into a controversial issue you have no part of when no one is asking for help is something completely different.
Well I think if we pull out of Iraq soon as in a couple months, and Im not up to date at the moment on what Obama has plans for, but if we do (we as in the US) then I think we've did a decent thing in Iraq. The intial reasons for going in were sketchy and all but we did help a people that had been in oppression for years get back on their feet. We cant be there for them forever. I mean I didnt agree with going into Iraw to begin with but Ive supported the war for the freedom that all people should have. But I havent supported all aspects of the war, just for clarification.
I think it was said that Obama will pull forces out in six months to one year (Somewhere around this time). The fact that he wants to pay more attention to Afghanistan is wonderful, but I think we have enough problems at home for now.
Yeah I agree. I thought he had plans of pulling out soon but wasnt sure on specifics. Afghanistan should be our main focus concerning foriegn countries. But I think that North Korea needs some serious attention as well, not military yet, but we should do some secret agent shit and monitor their ass a lot more, Im sry but they are CRAZY. Although we have a lot of problems at home that should be of first concern, I dont think we should drop all foriegn policy and seclude ourselves from outside activities.
Well, you have to remember that no one within the U.N. does anything until they consult the U.N. Even then we have to make the right choice. South Korea is full of innocent people who could be liable for any strike against North Korea, or they could be used by North Korea. Altogether, it's just smart to wait for their move [in my opinion]. We don't need another Rwanda.
if america pulls out of iraq than so does australia so do it hahahah
australia is americas b**** if you go to war we go to war but we are only americas b**** cause of the fact we have no way to defend ourself and face the fact we r a small country that is not nessasrially strong but not weak finacially.. many country's invest with the fact our interest rates are so damm high aswell to defend our selves we need a world super power so we turn to america!!!!
Even though there is the ANZUS (Australia, New Zealand and United States treaty it is a mutral defence treaty which declares if one of us is attacked than the others are COMPLEELED to go they dont have to go) we (australia still need to suk up to america to make sure that u come help us if we are attacked
Australia is somewhat barren, in the middle of an ocean, and was penal colony when it started. I'm pretty sure Australia is safe for now. Any war Australia gets in that involves America first and foremost is trivial in my opinion, just because I believe a people need a purpose before going into a war.

A 'Copper Standard' for the world's currency system?
Hard money enthusiasts have long watched for signs that China is switching its foreign reserves from US Treasury bonds into gold bullion. They may have been eyeing the wrong metal.

But it is funny how U.S. helped Cuba gain independence, and now there is strife.
I've never been for the "help other countries gain independence" thing really. It's not our job.

Liberation for pure self gain is the only way there can be any gain at all it seems.
