Never let it be said that the USA has a blinkered, biased view of world history and an ignorant, xenophobic knowledge of the rest of the planet.

Actually there's an awful lot I like about the US and Americans but not bollocks like that. Well Banana ....If you ignore the Romans and the Eygptians great innovative projects then America would probably come next. No other country could have invented the Atomic bomb in the short space of time they had to do it in in order to beat the Germans and therefore avoid Armageddon. The processes and resources required were one example of wasteful industrialisation, but the long term rewards absolutely vital in order to avoid the evil threat of the Nazis and Japanese aims on world domination. Global industry only provides what the public demands and therefore we are all as guilty as one another in that respect. The whole world is on a path of self destruction through its direct impact on the planet , but faced with the choices of good over evil , then I would personally back Americas greed against anything I've seen in the recent middle eastern conflicts. Every time you sit your little arse in your Audi or switch on your new mobile phone then you become just as reponsible as any American is . No one man or country can stand in the way of technological progress or industrialisation , but what we all must try and ensure is that the most important Earths resources aren't used as a weapon against us (in the West) or are used to hold us all to ransom as Sadam clearly attempted to do. His aggressive threats to Saudi and the invasion of his neighbours should only serve as a timely reminder of what real military power can do if it is not challenged by the 'World's Policeman'. He may not have had weapons of mass destrruction but the world is a much safer place with him Gaddafi or Osama Bin Laden around. Oil prices would have soared and we would all be riding pushbikes by now , so my message to you is .... BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR....LONG LIVE THE STARS AND STRIPES.! |

I'm sure a different Mumf came back from Egypt. America has taken on the role of world policeman. They may get something's wrong but they get an awful lot of stuff absolutely spot on. The original post is a load of bollocks though. Just typical yankee HOO HAA Sally you want to open your eyes a bit. You are blinkered by shitty leftards and liberalism |

Historically speaking, isn't the 'American civilization' just European civilization transplanted to a different lump of rock?

It's a testament to how militarised the US has become that if you oppose US foreign policy you're considered "anti American" as if the military and country are the same thing, but when you look at poll after poll you'll see that the majority of Americans also oppose current US foreign policy, and many of them agree that it's totallt counterproductive to stopping terrorism, i guess this makes them self hating anti-American traitors ?.
"I'd rather the yanks than the middle easterners" is a false dichotomy, that isn't the choice, and that statement means absolutely nothing, this isn't a football game, although i can see how football fans could fall into this type of thinking, as chomsky said, sports is a training ground in irrational jingoism.
The US installed, armed and backed Saddam throughout all his worst crimes, they backed the Mujadeen, and indirectly osama bin laden, and have also had an on/off relationship with Gadaffi, so you cannot say that the US is some benevolent force for good Vs evil, it's far more complex than that.
I love the idea of America, but it no longer resembles what it used to be and should be, the founding fathers of the US warned against empire and imperialism, and to not go "in search of monsters to destroy", unfortunately, like most countries that amass huge wealth, it will all come down due to imperial hubris and overreach, that which cannot be sustained will not last, and it will be the fault of phoney politicians like Rick Santorum and Barack Obama, who are basically front men for the crony-corporate state.
The US is now governed by career politicians beholden to special interests such as the military industrial complex, the banks and the Israel lobby, they go to war not to get oil cheaper, they go to war so specific corporations get the right to pump and control the oil, it doesn't matter to your average American who pumps the oil, the price is always set by the market, and war and instability pushes the price of oil up.
