As the USA is now the biggest kid on the block, economically, physically and technology, how far will it go in the war against terror? Will it just include nations that oppose it's beliefs and economic values, those that terrify coporate America? Or will it include those nations that pose only a threat to its' own people and neighbours, but do not effect coporate America? I don't hate people, only what a few do in the names of many others.

It almost ALWAYS has to do with economics. The U.S. currently supports brutal regimes that are saddam's equals. But they're on "our side", so we give them millions of $. In fact, the U.S. runs a terrorist training camp in Ft. Benning.
i bet Venezuela's glad to have ended the general strike - how many other poorly defended small countries, with political instability AND huge reserves of oil can you think of?
