1M REWARD BY US FOR BIN LADIN SON

As some Orthodox and Muslim ethnic and sect fighters have claimed, better to have snuffed them out in the cradle...than to then confront them again 20 years later!

Hello.

ROGUELIZATION A PROPOS PROFESSOR KAISER'S NEW POST IN TIME RE NOVEMBER 1919

"Vicious from the moment of their birth..." British Military Diplomat, Paris, 1919.

For some ancient, heretofore almost dead, civilizations, now rising up to stand against degenerate, but yet undead, civilizations, it may not simply be a question of vicious rebirth:

What does a modern politician, of any civilization, do with such constituencies? 

He is, after all, one of at least one of them.

RE SOME NOTES ON NATIONALISM

I am one of those few who think it would have been much better to have kept the European Imperial System, as Michael Howard implied. 

As Kennan said of Eastern Europe, after the fall of the Austro Hungarian Empire, 1919, it had been better than anything that has come after....For me, that is very safe for Kennan to have said, even back then...

SELF DETERMINATION PROLIFERATION DISINTEGRATION THE CONTAGION OF LIBERTY

"...The collapse of the USSR in 1991--77 years after the start of the First World War--started this process over again.  Once again, as in 1919, the entire region was liberated from foreign rule.  This time the proliferation of new states has gone much further, with Czechoslovakia and former Yugoslavia giving way to no less than 8 new states, and not only the Baltic States, but also Ukraine and Belarus, becoming independent..."

WHEN MUSLIMS GET THE VOTE IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES

They usually vote for radical Islamic leaders. 

That is democratic Islam...

Western Civilization would have been better off keeping the Sultan...

DECLINE OF WEST FAILED COLONIALISM CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS

Title really says it all. You can kid yourself about it.

The West, especially Britain and the US, have been largely responsible. 


Britain first, the US mainly later. Michael Howard says as much himself, but only re the US; he leaves out the prior British failure of will... I call it Milner Group fallout.

RE LIBERAL MILNER GROUP BLUNDERS A PROPOS THIS PRIOR POST THE CLASH

http://bozonbloggon.blogspot.com/2016/07/when-muslims-are-given-vote.html

See also The Anglo-American Establishment, Pb p. 221: Lord Lothian, re Gandhi and India, "...one corrective of political extremism is to put responsibility upon the extremists, and by this proposal, that is exactly what we are doing". Quigley: "These are typical Milner Group reasons."

RE KRUGMAN'S EDITORIAL NYT A FINITE WORLD A WORLD NOT FOUND IN NATURE UNPROSPERITY TRICKLING DOWN

Unfortunately, "at a fundamental level, it is about us."

The US, grew the developing world, almost singlehandedly, by strategic global market capitalism and American consumerism, as a great ideological alternative to communism, arguing that there was no domestic down side except a little dislocation of some employment at home.

That turned out, even by say the 60s, not to even be true.

Further, with respect to commodities, it has shown itself to have been a truly catastrophic strategy, developing large hungry global 'market' competitors everywhere, each of which wants more of the 'finite world', a world not found in the economists' models, a world moreover not found in nature, from its global market competitors.

Unfortunately, gradualism, of growth of a pacific, but hungry, 'global middle class', is probably not what we will be seeing, going forward, as further dislocations, not even just financial or fiscal or monetary ones, dog every regime.

We have been seeing more aggressive nationalistic regimes and civilizations. Cf. Margaret MacMillan's citation from Paris 1919, 'vicious from the moment of their birth'.

RE JAPAN RETREATS EDITORIAL AND PRIOR POSTS THE END OF COBDENISM NOT THE END OF HISTORY AND THE LAST MAN

It seems that there are now so many politico-economically 'fattened up' Asian regimes, China now being apparently the fatter, that they each can't get enough 'food' for their large economic girths, over there. A quite understandable situation for all concerned.

This editorial, with its frankly militarist implication of 'retreat', also gives the lie to all the Cobdenist free trade pacifism which Americans have been fed, and still are being fed by their Executive Branch, about the peaceful consequences of economic development for all comers. This is so even though China is Japan's largest export market now. 

What does that imply re power, and trade as a peace loving pastime? 

New or recently developed economies are as unlikely to be peace loving, going forward, toward their erstwhile economic benefactors, or their neighbors, as wasteland countries and regions, shunned by any development, were and are. 

See prior post re Margaret MacMillan's Paris 1919, quote from a British diplomat there, 'vicious from the moment of their birth'.
The big bad difference, the terrible, seldom voiced, implication for longstanding American foreign and economic policies, is that developed and developing economies are much more formidable economic and military adversaries, in the global struggle for resources and power, than undeveloped wastelands. 

It is not a good direction to have blithely gone, all these decades, really, since the 19th Century, Republicans since 1930 or so. The Democrats were free traders since before the Civil War, for reasons hardly identified with Cobdenism.
