he's not Siberian btw.

going back to my avalanche simile/analogy and to add to the scope of things, even if you were to "stop" the avalanche you'd only end up with a lot of water that would drown those near the avalanche. you can't "stop" the idea of American supremecy, and even if it is stopped there will always be an aggressive world power. England and other countries were here before the U.S. and doing the same thing, but it just wasn't as easily recognized due to the lack of technology and global news coverage. when the American empire falls, there will be another world power to take its place and assert its dominance to the rest of the world. it's a sad fact of power-hungry humans. in 50+ years time, the next generation will be saying the same thing about [insert country], and those citizens will feel just as helpless as current Americans. *shrugs*

Most historians feel that China will be the next dominant world empire. And I wasn't saying he's Siberian, I said a resident of Siberia...unless he isn't even that and put a fake location to be a prankster.

looner2, while I agree with a lot of what you are saying...America does not only use its power to defend. Whether you like or not, our CIA is a terrorist organization. Now...as for someone who lives in Siberia complaining about the American government, that's just laughable.

he's just a prankster and in no way related to Siberia, and yeah I need to research more into China but from my estimation they will be the next world power in that they have the manpower and are becoming more industrialized and will definitely have the capability to dethrone the U.S. obviously, the "war in Iraq" wasn't about Saddam or oil. I think it's, as I said, to set up a larger military presence in the Middle East that is within reach of China.

...and yeah I didn't even want to address that guy's "argument" because to say the U.S. only uses its power to defend itself against terrorism etc. is very short-sighted seeing as how (as you said) the CIA is very much an aggressor. also, that we train many terrorists and others with the ability to instill coups in 3rd world countries at the School of America (in Georgia) and elsewhere here in the U.S. is very contradictory to the U.S. government's idea of "protecting freedom" and defending its people against terrorism.
