America or the world
Therefore a wise prince will seek means by which his subjects will always and in every possible condition of things have need of his government, and then they will always be faithful to him.

"The Prince"
Just a thought but dosen't that sound a lot like how the American government is run? Bush is being persecuted, he holds sway over less then half the voting population in the states, and the justice system is after him for misapropriation of funds. Suddenly 9/11 occures and the US immediatly goes after Afghanistan. The new government is installed in Afghanistan and as things settle down the Senate, Congress, the American people and the other members of NATO want to know where Bush got his hands on his information and why he didn't alert them earlier. So Bush turns the heat on Iraq. Funny how that is? Then again if you look at the history of other Presidents, the intelligence agencies, the Senate, the millitary and Congress they have all been manufacturing events for years. Seems to me America isn't a country based on freedom but on control. How else do you explain their media? But then again is it really just America?

not sure where you're going w/ the whole how american is run thing...but I do agree about the media. It sucks big time, and I hate all of it. It can draw a picture of whatever it wants, and some times, NONE of it is true. I think too much of what is happening here in America is put on the president though. He can make some decisions, but mostly he's powerless w/o the people. I agree that the government is too controlling, and I'm scared it will get more so, especially concerning education, religion, and freedom of speech. So basically everything that America was founded on, is going to pot.
by the way, I like your blog :)
good to see you followed the hype and got one.
