BRING ON THE “PLAYERS”

January 29, 2004

While reading some comments from Davos via Stratford Intelligence, I couldn’t help but do a flash-back to my younger days. Some thirty years ago I was a real-live, authentic, PLAYER! You see, I got invited to places like Pula, Yugoslavia. I doubt if any of my readers have ever heard of the place. So many things have changed in that region.

If you were a minor-leaguer you could get an invite to Las Vegas or maybe even Aruba; however, it would take some serious paper and a reputation for being a true PLAYER at gaming, to get a free trip to the communist land of Pula. That was then, this is now.

France wants so bad to be a player. Germany thinks they are. The rise of the Euro and the EU generally has raised France’s opinion of itself to a level that’s not merited. So, while these two nations assert their rights, the rest of Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Britain , and a dozen Eastern Europe nations) are having other thoughts.

The Davos meeting was all about multilaterialism. The U.N. is all about it as well. While I respect every person’s opinion and their right to go whatever way they choose, I do not care for those who think small to tell me I must think in like fashion.

Our constitution was so fomulated to protect the majority as well as the minority. The powerful need to respect the weak, but not to live their life like the weak. What the world needs is some men and nations who have strong morals, compassion, purpose, and mercy and the GUTS to do what is RIGHT. In other words, in times of crisis, I look around to find out who the PLAYERS are that embody the traits mentioned above and I say, “Let’s get it on.”

I think that’s the message George W. is delivering right now.
