A men to that Eric ! Lets remember a very important thing .... At this point in time we have the power to easily conquer and enslave any country on this planet. If we are so evil, and our intentions are so self serving, why haven't we ???? What kind of world do think this would be if Sadam held the power we hold ?? Likely we would be in chains, while he sat in one of his 100 palaces eating cracked crab on ice and watching video tapes of peoples execution and torture ... kinda like he does now. These lunatics would like nothing better than to kill my family in the most grusome fashion. We aren't like that, and the reason i'm so sure of that is because if we wanted to kill their family members, there would be millions of them laying dead right now. With a push of a button North Korea's nuclear program would be blown back into the stone age, its powerful Army wiped from the face of the planet. A gallon of gas would be about a quarter, because all of the oil fields of the middle east would belong to us ! Instead, we send money and aid ... even to the people that threaten to destroy us. The evil Americans, I'm getting really tired of hearing that !! We have lost hundreds of thousands of young men standing up for the Europeans and the only thing we get in return is their self rightious criticisim. We get verbally trounced by the French for being bullies .... this from the country who for centuries had half the world colonized ... thats how they used power when they had it. Germany ... they are chanting in the streets about how brutal we are .... they started not one but two world wars !! Then we have the more beneign criticism like 1969Mach1's "I just believe there is a better way to solve some of our issues than war" What does that mean ?????? don't just talk to feel your jaw move ?? Give us some answers ?? what ways ??? You want to critisize but you have no answers ? not even an opinion ? I'm at the point where i just don't give a flying **** anymore ... We have something nasty that needs to be done ... you can stand bside us the way we have for you a dozen times, or get the **** out of the way, because frankly Scarlett we don't give a dam.
