global management we don't need to stay in western europe we don't need to look at eastern europe so much anymore what is nicolas sarkozy trying to achieve on the world stage. well i think those he wants to do is elevate france from a major world player a neo colonial master of francophone africa and francophone north africa to move upward to be in the inner circle the highest rank of global management which it is the western country club the us britain germany japan and i think. he wants to break with the old position established by i shall be calling nine hundred fifty six when you go broke from nato all right and then he did unilateral nuclear testing and he did other other military industrial operations abroad. however he did which french stay outside the sphere of influence of nato and go it alone mr cozy is realized with with global management operation succeeding a new paradigm succeeding he would like to be sitting there at the round table with the. select group of global managers which are elected officials and corporate managers from the united states from britain from germ

this called the north atlantic treaty organization north atlantic at maine's western europe and real terms where is the north atlantic treaty organization active today well of course it's active in the middle east it's active in central asia it's active in north africa and. nato itself is a military and economic engine that does not want. just because of the end of the soviet empire or its promise to exist it wants to feed itself as a military operation and as a as a bloodsucker of tax money it pays quite well to its upper staff and to its contractors and suppliers it's an industry that's a while ago so like government it needs a foreign enemy has led to play along with we are north atlantic let's go to the middle east let's go to central asia let's go to north africa and not even have the sense to change the name. you know and in effect they might as well call it the middle east treaty interventionist organization or the north african european our military intervention machine where north atlantic treaty organization every gets the sheer arrogance that it's just simply announcing un

detest the western intervention even more so far from accelerating the process of the composition of the gadhafi regime accelerating the process of the revolution it's been precisely the opposite so do you think it should be a goal of the rebels then to try and make themselves a more legitimate force in libya by reaching out to their own people and trying to build support for a grassroots yes i think they need to send a signal very very clearly that they're going to break the ties with the west i understand the pressure of work that they were under from a very delicate moment during the siege. but i think they need to put that aside now and say whatever the justifications were then it's gone horribly wrong and we can see how the western mission has gone from air cover to bombing conforming to troops on the ground from following two assassination attempts against gadhafi himself and that really should be sending a very very strong signal to the rebels that revolutions either succeed by mobilizing their own people against the hated and popular regime or they don't succeed at all there'

the bin ladin's killing hasn't lifted the threat of terrorism because it was largely a symbol of western security i think in many ways the interesting thing about some of bin laden is he is actually more a creation of the west than he is a real political or kind of terrorist threats in himself in many ways he kind of feeds a vampire like all three insecurities of the west i think in many ways as the most significant aspects of what we've seen over the last couple of days which is this massively disproportionate reaction to the killing of bin laden as if it's like some historic turning point for humanity you see world leaders coming else barack obama of course people also like ban ki moon and silvio berlusconi all saying this is this great split for historical events and i think there's a really telling disconnect between the reality of the situation which is effectively you have this aging sickly old man who really hasn't done anything of political significance for a long time and the great kind of triumph against evil that the western leaders are really kind of starting to trumpet at th

we're going izing a successful coalition to block western europe. in this round but going forward this could be a sign of things to come not just in terms of who normally means these institutions after all the real decisions are often mean elsewhere not but in the g seven finance ministers. in the actual policies whether it will continue to see pasties by the i.m.f. there are as one former i.m.f. insider described in the guardian talking about the can receive christine legarde of the total bank protection plan total big. player and that's been the policy so far we've seen the consequences of that increase about portugal and ireland and christine the growth comes the next. i think the short run what you expect. more of the same as long as they can sustain it it's not obvious you know greece. and the edge of. default and perhaps even leaving europe so they may not be able to maintain these policies but the trend is for them to continue to try and what do you think is behind this sort of unusual more aggressive than normal statement event that it's ref

ruler western ruler to to go there and just for his political agenda critics say this new global policy was meant to wean over french food hers but hasn't worked france is kind of small united states with many interventions that are very costly and very little thinking about the relationship between rhetoric and the costs and costs is the killer european countries are facing more and more protest over huge spending cuts in an attempt to lower deficits and save a drowning euro the sex scandal involving i.m.f. head dumb and the extras come on might have knocked out a top contender competing against sarkozy for the presidency but experts say d.s. k. was toppled at the wrong time when still worries about whether the euro will still be the currency of all these european countries in the next twelve to twenty four months and at the same time spending hundreds of millions forcing their way into the libya conflict they don't see eye to eye but they going to try to regroup around. the idea that it's a humanitarian intervention and the un resolution a resolution that china and russia didn't veto

i think it would set a model for the western democracies to follow. it would enable us to have ongoing, intelligent, productive conversations with opec, with arab nations, with china, because in a democracy which we all know can be pretty sloppy from time to time, in the process by which we get things done, we can actually get things done. but that's what's needed for the energy future of the united states. if the western democracies go south, i don't think that will be impressive. to what the arab nations are currently wrestling with, which is the role of democracy in their systems, in their countries, in their governments. and i don't think the western democracies want to see the chinese model repeated all over as the model for the world. so this decade, i'll close where i started -- chickens are coming home to roost this decade, ladies and gentlemen. we can't extend these uncertainties. we can't produce what we need to produce in this decade without energy. and we can't resolve the economic requirements of the western democracies on the path that w

president and other western leaders. no small our republican government like our own has the right to expend the lives of its young in military crusades for unattainable zlugs gives liberty, justice equality and democracy to foreigners who do not want them and will fight them to the death. this is especially true when our youngsters' lives are spent as they have been in iraq and afghanistan, by a governing elite that does not intend to win the wars it starts. and refuses to allow the full use of the conventional military force taxpayers have bought to protect their country and their children. u.s. foreign policy then must revert to what it was before the cold war gave license to u.s. politicians to become democracy mongers interventionists. foreign policy is meant to defend our country, not to define who we are by doing what our elites define as good deeds overseas. in america, foreign policy need do but one thing. it must protect america so as to allow for the domestic expansion of liberty, freedom, and the equality of
