Paul Craig Roberts: How the World Can Stop Bush
Bush will not come stop tempting fate with Iran, especially since Saudi princes are supporting him. So, how can Bush be stopped? Here's one idea...
Got a better idea?
Let's hear it (really). Something has to be done so we might as well air all the ideas and see what we can make of them...
How the World Can Stop Bush: "The US is totally dependent upon foreigners to finance its budget and trade deficits. By financing these deficits, foreign governments are complicit in the Bush Regime's military aggressions and war crimes. The Bush Regime's two largest lenders are China and Japan. It is ironic that Japan, the only nation to experience nuclear attack by the US, is banker to the Bush Regime as it prepares a possible nuclear attack on Iran.Okay, not a new idea, or something home-grown activists can do alone...but it's a start.
If the rest of the world would simply stop purchasing US Treasuries, and instead dump their surplus dollars into the foreign exchange market, the Bush Regime would be overwhelmed with economic crisis and unable to wage war. The arrogant hubris associated with the 'sole superpower' myth would burst like the bubble it is.
The collapse of the dollar would also end the US government's ability to subvert other countries by purchasing their leaders to do America's will.
The demise of the US dollar is only a question of time. It would save the world from war and devastation if the dollar is brought to its demise before the Bush Regime launches its planned attack on Iran."
