I think we need to know what a real enemy is of the USA? Do you mean people in some nation which have animosity for the policies of the USA? Sure we have that sort of enemies. What can THEY do> Scream, protest... mischief at American property in THEIR country.

Do we have state level "enemies"? Well if you mean governments which have made statements which indicate that they don't like the USA's policies and actions in various places around the world? We've heard rants from Castro, Chavez and others.

But what is the threat from these nations to the PEOPLE of the USA?

Are they going to attack America? Will there me an invasion on the shores of Cape Cod? Hell no. Never gonna happen.

These "anti USA" government might seize USA corporate owned assets.. oil rigs and so forth located in THEIR countries. They might prevent USA corporations from doing business in their country like Kin Jong Il. Who cares? Who suffers? Americans don't. Koreans might.

The fact is that the USA has an aggressive foreign policy which essentially is about making the world safe for trans national corporate business... involving resource exploitation, labor exploitation and access to offshore markets. I don't think that these are interests of the American people.

Well we need oil, as it's the life blood of our economy. FIne. We can purchase it.

When Buish came into power Oil was $23 a barrel, now it's $80+. We spent half a trillion "securing american (security - read oil) interests" in Iraq and Iran is the next target as are the Caucuses.

We need to defend out shores, not our corporations.

While I hate to see oppressive regimes, the USA has hardly used its military might for humanitarian purposes, especially if there is no strategic interest associated with it.

The ISA government now serves the corporations first and the people's needs second. This is why we are told we have enemies and inset ourselves into the affairs of other nations where we have no business doing so.

Further, We need to step aware from pre emptive war... and renounce the first use of nuclear weapons including DU.
