State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought to put new life into flagging U.N. climate talks Thursday by announcing the U.S. would join others in raising $100 billion a year by 2020 to help poorer nations cope with global warming.

We have helped build and rebuild many nations during our short time as a nation, and right now we are not in a position to be throwing around cash to pay other's way in this stuff.  We need to reconsider all aid and how it fits in with us getting back on our feet.  Because if you look at our profit and loss statement and our finacial statement, the United States is a poor nation that is hiding it with our spending habits.


And now to the meat of this thread ...

The Chinese thus far have resisted what they see as a potential intrusion on their sovereignty.

This is a statement we need to learn when dealing with the United Nations!

Give it a few months.  When China takes over here they won't want the UN or world press seeing what's happening here either.

Its because the Chinese actually listen to and respect those of us who teach political history (unlike some internet boards, grumble, grumble).

We might be better off. When the ENTIRE rest of the world is backing away from the socialist "Planned economy" and adopting more Capitalist forms only the a$$ hats in Washington buck the trend by attempting GREATER Government control.
