Default Re: Osama Bin Laden is dead

With the Arab uprisings, and with the increasing fact that the UK and other European countries will become less significant(due to other emerging powers) in the middle of the century, with Eastern powers emerging such as India(a big player), China(another big player), and possibly some of the Arab nations as well

That graph shows the top 10 economies of 2050, but I don't expect the Arabs to be far behind.

India is relatively liberal, but when you have China and the Middle east in the mix, then it's not too liberal. If the West doesn't follow international law, and with the US being completely hypocritical over the past few decades (war in Iraq, and Vanunu, and non recognition of Palestine whilst Israel continues to occupy more and more land), bringing other Western countries with it and ruining their reputation then what hope is there for emerging Eastern powers?

Maybe they may look back, and see that America has shrouded itself under democracy, freedom and other liberal like policies when it tells the world something else, propping up dictatorships, supporting some dictatorships and not others, telling the world that a country has the right to arm(except for when it's a country they don't like ie: Iraq which was essentially a walkover as it was stripped of weapons) and they may see the evil of what they have done under these supposed freedoms.

Or, they may see that the West has been getting away with this for decades and so can we. I can only hope that they do not see it this way

I'm most certainly not a Nazi sympathiser but I agree with pretty much most of Goebbels quotes here:
Joseph Goebbels quotes

He was put in place to give propaganda to the public (ie: all Jews are evil; they're out to get us somehow etc...)

This one, I especially like(from Goerring):
