You may not have a "Cameroon" in your driveway, but it is quite probable that some of the aluminum, and some of the Gas in it comes from there.

Yep you proved me wrong again taxing Corporations are great once you get past the "30%" unemployment and $2-3/day wages LOL. What do you suppose the unemployment rate would be if the government mandated real wages.

Guyana:
"Until recently, the government was juggling a sizable external debt against the urgent need for expanded public investment. Low prices for key mining and agricultural commodities combined with troubles in the bauxite and sugar industries had threatened the government's tenuous fiscal position and dimmed prospects for the future."

" First we were there cuz NORTH Vietnam was invading the south. The Northwas using Cambodia and Laos as staging areas (kind of like Pakistan).

Wrong, we were there because it was making money for the US military. Neos are the last to care about their fellow man, so your attempt at altruism falls way short.

"...As far as Grenada goes PLEEEESE. You Neo-Marxist are always playing the revisionest card." Posted by louiville2

So you say that Reagan did not order the US military incursion into Grenada?

"It has been exactly twenty years since the U.S. forces invaded Grenada, ending that Caribbean island nation's four-year socialist experiment. An island nation no bigger than Martha's Vineyard, with a population that could barely fill the Rose Bowl, was defeated with relatively few American casualties. President Ronald Reagan's decision to occupy the country and replace the government with one more to his liking proved to be quite popular in the United States, with polls indicating that 63% of the public supported the invasion."

Now who is being "revisionist"? Like I said, if you post BS you should understand that it is all too easily checked.

Cameroon heavy industry

"The manufacturing sector, which is centred on import substitution (radios, soap, tyres, footwear manufacture) and the processing of agricultural commodities (sugar refining, brewing, palm oil processing, cotton spinning, tobacco and wood-pulp production) and oil refining (petroleum) accounted for 10.6 per cent of GDP in 1998. Other heavy industries are aluminium smelting at Edea (using imported bauxite), steel processing and leather tanning.

The building of the 1,070 km Chad-Cameroon pipeline, which at its peak is expected to employ about 7,000 people, is expected to boost the construction industry, having already stimulated an increase of 1.1% real GDP growth in 2000-01. Construction of the pipeline, which will cost about US$2bn, had begun by the end of 2001."

You may not have a "Cameroon" in your driveway, but it is quite probable that some of the aluminum, and some of the Gas in it comes from there.

And even there you are incorrect, most of the countries listed in fact do have heavy industries, even if the long term jobs do go to cronies, which is a matter of corruption rather than inability.

Cameroon:
"Red tape, "high taxes", and endemic corruption have impeded growth of the private sector.[56] Unemployment was estimated at 30% in 2001, and about 48% of the population was living below the poverty threshold in 2000.[18] Since the late 1980s, Cameroon has been following programmes advocated by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) to reduce poverty, privatise industries, and increase economic growth.[19] Tourism is a growing sector, particularly in the coastal area, around Mount Cameroon, and in the north.[57]

Let see tourism is now a Heavy industry LOL Every thing else has fallen like timber mining and oil exports. Hmmmm yep taxing corporations is great.

Chrysler should have gone bankrupt a long time ago. We bailed them out years ago too. But they never fully recovered. I am so sick and tired of kicking a dead horse. If I own a business and I don' make enough money to pay expenses and make a profit then I must go bankrupt. No one to bail me out. Do you think a bank would lend me money to keep going? NO!
When will this stupid gov'mnt learn to stop squandering our money.

[louiville2]

I'll do ya better son, Grenada, Vietnam, and the various "Indian" nations right there in the continental US.

And let us not forget the various countries against whom we have committed military atrocities without even declaring war, like Laos and Cambodia, Angola, Pre-Shah Iran, and Nicaragua.

AHAHHAHA were you IN vietnam so that YOU would know what your talking about?

First we were there cuz NORTH Vietnam was invading the south. The Northwas using Cambodia and Laos as staging areas (kind of like Pakistan).

As far as Grenada goes PLEEEESE. You Neo-Marxist are always playing the revisionest card.

Not to forget the "black ops" activities, like installing the madman Gulbiddin Hekmatyar in Afghanistan, and trying to assassinate Fidel Castro, Ortegs Saavedra, and the recent calls by the right-wing "religious" idiot Pat Robertson, to assassinate Hugo Chavez.

[louiville2]

You need to get out more, not only do many of their countries have heavy industries, and have had them for quite a few decades, (Belguim has it's own auto industry, and they make the mercaptan that gives gasoline it's smell, just for a couple examples) but they now also have the ones that left the US looking for slave labor.

Like I said, you need a refund from your economics teachers.

As have fascist policies, religious policies, ethnic policies, economic policies, and US foreign policies. No real difference there, son.

But at any rate, the neos should love it, after all they are quicket to declare war against countries using the excuse that the victim countries have chosen, or even worse, might choose the "wrong" form of government.

Ummm Nazis-Fascist-Communists were socialist (i.e. left of center), If you consider that (and I can prove it) then the left over the last 100 years have killed off 3-4 times the number of people the right has, fact.

On the last comment, name one country we declared war on were benign countries who just wanted peace and had no prior history of aggression?
