Berlin Dialogue for a New World Order
Can an overvalued currency be the anchor currency?"
Dr. Clifford A. Kiracofe, a historian teaching at the Virginia Military Institute, cited the warnings of U.S. Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and Dwight Eisenhower "against the power of entrenched financial and business interests to overturn the American republican form of government," and he pointed to the nature of the imperial faction which has pushed the United States into the disaster in Iraq, and is pushing for a possible war against Iran now. Kiracofe explained that the policies of the American imperial faction are modelled on those of the 19th Century British Lord Palmerston—a man who, among other things, was passionately devoted to the destruction of the United States itself, by splitting it into separate Northern and Southern confederations. When initial British attempts did not work out, Palmerston, Lord John Russell, and others framed the British policy of fomenting the southern secession and the ensuing U.S. Civil War. The situation in Iran after the recent Presidential elections, the recent instability in Kyrgystan and Uzbekistan, and the possibility of a new U.S. military adventure in the region, were also recurring concerns at the Berlin seminar.
