Has America swept Afghanistan under the carpet?

At first glance, it appears so. Indeed, one rarely sees or hears of Afghanistan in the newspapers nowadays. It seems that America is eager to pput this episode behind it, and forget the ugly past. However, the wounds of Afghans are still fresh, and new ones appear everyday. The matter of Afghanistan has not been solved yet. President Hamid Karzai appears to be suffering under the heavy load. The American shave pulled out of Afghanistan, making way for a power vacuum that Hamid Karzai cannot fill. Instead, the warlords are jostling for power.

With the advent of the fresh Iraqi prison scandal, it appears that America cannot extricate themselves from Iraq as easily from Iraq as they did with Afghanistan. America would do well to consider the implications of invading other countries to add to its pathetic conquests. Iraaqw is a fine example. Soldiers are dying or injured everyday. How many of them actually reach the presses, and how many do not? Only America can answer that and many other burning questions that America is strangely silent on. ¶ 11:04 PM

Goldbug? Not so.

The world is facing an enormous crisis- inflation. We are faced with rising prices. Each week, we look on in horror at the prices of goods raised once again. The main reason for this is because of the greenback that we all set our currencies against as a benchmark. The United States is the only strong military power that has the ability to fire nuclear warheads on a large scale. They have a massive debt that is passed on from generation to generation, debt that is counted not in millions, not in billions even, but counted to the tune of trillions.

There is one very obvious solution to our economic woes- gold. Gold, as a base, is indestructible. Gold cannot be counterfeited nor duplicated, thus taking away the politician’s ability to simply print more money when need. Gold, has answered our prayers, like a single drop of water is to a dying man. The value of gold is steadily rising. All who are prudent should invest heavily in them. Gold is about to take over the greenback that countries benchmark their currencies against.

The state of our currencies are very unstable. For example, the US is not very reliable. Its value is fluctuating, and added on to its massive debts, is definitely not a good choice for investment. And yet, the American people have blind faith in their currency, seemingly unaware that their economy is on the brink of collapse, supported only by the scaffolds that we know as nuclear missiles.
