Balance of Power

I've read numerous articles explaining the New World Order, and the balance of power therein.

The US has all the super-weapons, all the military might, and they use that to champion the cause of Democracy and Freedom. Aggressor nations need not even attempt to challenge the US superiority, as they will just be quashed back to the stone-age.

You don't need a crystal ball to see that the US isn't exactly "championing" anything, save military might, and unilateral action. Mr. Bush's plan to upgrade the nuclear arsenal is completely unnecessary, as is his ressurrection of the archaic "Star Wars" program. He's still fighting a Cold War that ended in 1991. Against who?

My guess is, its the terrorists. His hated enemies. Problem is, they don't have a nation that can be bombed into submission. (Or do they?) Instead, perhaps he is stockpiling to face off against North Korea, a nation which he is allowing to become a critical threat.

Or, perhaps, he's just waiting for somebody to develop something more frightening than the atomic bomb.

Perhaps a bomb that can fission the particle/waves of light? The energy released with equal amounts of light vs. matter in a fission bomb is a ratio of n:1, where n is a multiple of the Speed of Light. Lots of bang. Or perhaps a satillite that fires controlled bursts of plasma, fuelled from the sun? Ever seen a human body burned? Imagine that at the approximate temperature of a lightning bolt...

Not pleasant, and it must not be allowed to happen...

But how will building up a doomsday aresenal ever prevent that?

It won't. If anything, it will hasten it. Prepare yourselves Earthlings, for the Art of War is entering a new age.

The age of Techno-Death.

The only cure: Finance Fairness, Disarmament, and Understanding.

Their military might is starting to fail; the fact that a technologically-backwards country like Iraq is giving such a fight in insurgent house-to-house (which is what US military advisors have been saying is the "future of warfare" for 10-15 years now) means that not only do the Americans look stupid, but they also look weak.

To invade another country without due cause and then fail miserably as your technologically-superior cyborg armies of death are trounced by a couple of sniper-rifle carrying drunkards doesn't make you look any better on the world scale.
