Foreign Policy Overview

Once the world's greatest superpower, our country is sinking deeper and deeper into debt, as the War on Iraq and the War on Terror enrich the Military Industrial Complex and the Security Industrial Complex at the expense of our future generations. Ironically, it is China, the world's next great superpower, who controls much of our debt and therefore our future. Although many contend that our invasion of Iraq was necessary to ensure our oil supply, it is noteworthy that China does not find it necessary to keep its troops in Iraq. This is because China does not subsidize Israel's detested occupation of Palestine and has therefore not incurred the wrath of the Muslim world. For instance, Iran happily sells China 300,000 barrels of oil per day (NY Times 1-14-06).
