MMc:  In our last session, we asked of Charles if there was any guidance you might give me about a topic for our next session.  He suggested that I would find topics within the time period between then and our next session.  I’ve been looking at the news and certainly those things in the Middle East, Syria, and the Iranian situation and the situation in North Korea have made themselves known to me and what I find in looking at them, if I look at them critically, is that the State Department wishes to keep Iran and North Korea in the state of status quo, while the revolution in Syria is ongoing at this point, and they’ve passed their time for a cease fire.  We have senators who have suggested that the United States might take a military action.  It appears to me that what we are looking at is that our government reacting to maintain the status quo, as you say, is very disappointing as it seems there is no way forward.  I don’t have a question in that except that I didn’t find that looking at the news, I didn’t find any great questions to my mind. There are certainly some disappointments in the way that the United States conducts itself.  The world doesn’t seem to want to…it seems to want to keep its foot upon the neck of the rest of the world, to maintain its own integrity and its own safety.

*The adage of “Mind your own business” for nations

*The adage of “Mind your own business” for nations

MONJORONSON:  There will come a time in the not to distant future where the old adage of, “Mind your own business” will be taken to heart.  You can look around the world and see the difficulties, and you simplify what is occurring, is that neighbors are meddling in other peoples’ garden patches and that they have enough to do at home, if they would do it correctly.  Whether it is the United States or Iran or other nations, meddling in other nations’ affairs will forestall the inevitable and it makes it more difficult for everyone.  Small nations like to attack their neighbors and to impress their power upon the mighty powers that exist, and they get themselves into trouble, forgetting the populations at home, which suffer so much.
