I could take out Canada's entire standing army alone. All they are is guys on horses...
But then they'd send in their elites...Troops on bikes!
Also note that this was sarcasm, and I don't hate all Canadians.

that post sums up america for the rest of the world...
its this bull**** 'dont hate me because i'm beautiful' attitude...
love me, coz if you dont we'll kick your ass...
america sees itself as the champion of good causes...protecting every other country in the world against terror...the bringer of joy, culture, peace, art, philisophy....we'll wipe out blacks, arabs, irish, french, germans, indians and any other slimey scum you want us to....just ask...thats what we are here for...
but please, please...be grateful to us....
america, the most powerful country in the world...thats what they said about ancient Egypt, then Greece, then Rome....who would have dared rise up against a nation that ruled all the known world...then the Spanish conquests...the British Empire...the Nazi Regime and now its America's turn....who next?....well, waiting in the wings is it China? they dwarf the US with their massive army and well trained assault troops...or India with its nuclear warheads with the west firmly with its sights.....what goes around come around and arrogance seeks out a slap in the face...

Turbo, you're Scottish, aren't you? Since when has a Brit not easily perceived sarcasm. As I said, leftist ideologies can cloud your mind.
"Americans look to be on thewar path to control oil, et al."
"Damn right! We raid Aberdeen tomorrow. We rule! *flex* *flex*"

And there is some merit in being powerful. It indicates a superior strategy was used. Of course a nation can fall under the weight of its power. But it's still a better position to be in than poor and forgotten. Argue consequence forever if you want, but we are saddled with expectations for our wealth alone. On that basis, we'll seek to influence other nations development.

Yes, yes they were.
Hence the mirage fighter jets doing practice runs with the bio/chem weapons.
I know that.
I was answering the question of "wasn't france doing the very same thing"?
So its cool dude, no reason to worry about corrections

Yep. And the problem here is...? America is the newest Empire. We are an imperial power, albeit a watered down, more politically correct type. But comparing us to Nazi Germany is just grossly inaccurate. Please be more careful. Any thinking person understands that the American Empire is a flash-in-the-pan, historically speaking, and will someday be understood as the most recent influence of the then newest empire.
You forgot Greece. The more important thing you seem to not notice is that for over two thousand years the world has been dominated by THE WEST. America is merely the newest torch carrier, after England, after Spain, after Rome, after Greece.
Even more importantly, understanding America from a historical perspective, as enlightened as that may be, does not automatically mean dismissing America is good for anyone. At the end of the day America has helped the world more than it has hurt it. If we didn't take charge somebody else would, and then we'd be sitting around complaining like all of you. You think we're going to accept that? No ****ing way.

200 years isn't too shabby. Of course we didn't spend even the majority of that time on top.
I'm not sure that even Rome had such an unequal balance of power as America though. I think what's going on right now is really unprecedented in the history of the world. The war on terrorism battle at iraq certainly was unprecedented. I don't think an invasion has ever happened so fast and with so few casualties (though it might have happened to the french at some point... WWII maybe?). Even then I'll be the french took out more than 300 germans.
The argument about no other empires having lasted so why should America is not fair. Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it wont. And how many of those other world powers had democracy and capitalism on their side?
