What an interesting question!
1st - The number of heroin/opium farmers in Afghanistan have almost quadroupled since the invasion, and people are asking why. Before the invasion there was a thriving cotton farming and textile industry. When the invasion happened Bush kicked in the Free Trade directives if the World Trade Organisation and forced open the markets. This resulted in a massive influx of cheep American cotton and textiles, sweeping away the market and thus a means of earning for the farmers.
2nd. The American Free Trade policy means that farmers in Africa are unable to finance their own farms, due to heavily subsidised grain/rice imports from the US. So the reason people are starving in Africa is because even though they have farms, they can't afford to buy food for themselves as they can't compete with the very cheap food stuffs from the US. They have no money to buy new grain to grow new crops etc...
You can find out this stuff from www.christianaid.org.uk or the world development movement, google that one!
Hope this helps!

If you make informed decisions and approach your penny stock investments with the same thoroughness that you’d use in your other investments, you too can unlock a whole lot of profit potential. Learn here https://tr.im/M3Srr
It’s absolutely true that penny stock investors can make very quick gains. Synutra International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYUT) is a great example of a penny stock. This dairy-based, nutritional-products company has jumped from a little Bulletin Board operation to a billion dollar corporation. The company finally graduated from Over-the-Counter status to the NASDAQ Stock Market bringing with it 113% gains in less than two months.
This happens all the time and it’s how some of the best investors in the world became the richest investors in the world. Buying some shares for pennies on the dollar and selling at $10 or $20 is possibly the fastest way from being a hobby investor to a super investor

In some ways yes... They are paying a lot to play the game of geopolitics, and sphere of influences in the middle east and other places. This is to ensure that the area will not fall in the hand of another emerging power, likely China, India or Russia. If they don`t do this, they are doomed, if the do it, they MAY be doomed too. So I guess their thinking is that if we don`t do it, we will never know if it was the good thing to do!
As for your question, yes the US still has a choice not to buy the world, but who do you want to dominate the world in 20 years, China or USA?

I suppose outside of the totally incorrect first statement, since that has 0 possibility of happening, it's possible, since most of us in the US work for the fat cats making them richer under the guise of of us getting richer.

Well Money does make the World go 'round.
A little response to the person above:
Dozens of the largest nations in the world owe us war debts: UK, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, etc. We lent them protection, equiptment, or defeated them. Also we rebuilt Europe after WW2, so basically we are owed (because of inflation) trillions by other countries because of their war debts.

Actually it appears to me that America is selling itself out and giving itself away to the rest of the world as fast as possible.

China and India are way too expensive for the US to buy.
It ain't gonna happen -- Iraqi investments, notwithstanding.
