The treaty system is based upon “responding to the market” among fairly competing nations, and works reasonably well so long as the avoidance of “oligopolic domination” is achieved. As soon as there are relatively powerful competitors, as occurred many centuries ago, the competition tends to become ruthless. The tragedy of the formation of the USA can be blamed significantly upon the financial aid by France. The hatred of France by some Germans can be blamed in part upon the Napoleonic wars. The US stimulated the collapse of the USSR, not by direct military action, but by currency manipulation for the collapse of the ruble.
 
China is not likely to rely upon militarism for defeating the US, but is more likely to stimulate a collapse of the dollar. American foreign policy needs to focus significantly upon minimizing the propensity for China to seek to initiate [obviously with much cover-up] the collapse of the dollar. Those aware of the precise timing of such collapse can profit tremendously from such collapse. The world and those caught by the surprise of the collapse are the ones who will suffer. That is why any conspiracy for “cornering the market” on gold offers such potential profits for the conspirators and such horrendous suffering for humanity.
 
GWB is assuming significant risks concerning global prosperity by TV coverage of his duty to comply with the Congressional decision to award the Congressional medal to the Dali Lama. I do not pretend to be an expert on international affairs, and avoid commenting on the wisdom of the decision about GWB concerning this issue.
 
Until that feature of the unwritten constitution of diplomacy that authorizes an oppressed people to seek diplomatic recognition by the separate diplomatic actions of many nations is repealed, and until there are legislative and judicial chambers adjudicate issues about creation or dissolution of nations, survival of humanity is unreasonably jeopardized.  Home Rule Globally is justified in spreading the relatively simple message that federalization is the only adequate approach toward minimizing military hostilities in the 21st century.
 
During portions of the 17th-20th centuries, analysts could stress the fluctuations in the build-up of armaments. In 2007, the nature of the conflicts between China and US can be evaluated by fluctuations in the price of gold. China has successfully stimulated a significant increase in the price of gold. I do not know enough about global monetarism to suggest what will stimulate a panic concerning the dollar. If gold were to reach a price of, for example, $3,000/troy ounce, then a panic concerning the dollar seems likely. During the tulip boom, some analysts recognized the bubble would burst, but could not guess precisely when. Such is the present situation globally. The tranquility of US-Chinese relations can be measured approximately by the relative stability in price of gold. I am extremely grateful that those analysts who predicted $2,000/oz prices for an earlier date were proven mistaken. Currently I expect the price of gold to rise because of the relative clout of China versus the clout of the US. My interpretation is that GWB‘s TV with the Dali Lama will increase rather than decrease the price of gold. The risks are still too great for me to invest in options on the price of gold, even though at an earlier date I was prepared to take such risks. Those expecting USA to be relatively dominant over China can speculate on options for a lower price for gold, but I am estimating losses for such speculators. Data relating to the magnitude of increase in borrowing by home equity loans in the USA prompts my expectancy for an early bursting of the bubble of US prosperity.
