Natural Disasters? Blame America!

You spread-God's-hate foreign-policy expert types do realize that EGELAND RESCINDED HIS COMMENTS A LONG TIME AGO, rendering the initial point of this thread ... pointless.

We already fought this battle here anyway:

Bottom line is there is truth on both sides of the issue, as usual, and rote partisanship only insures that you're at least partly wrong.

My comments are not partisan. They're American. Personally, I hate all politicans as I see them solely as a bunch of...well, I don't really want to get perma-banned.

Anyway, fact is that American has never taken control of any country they have defeated in battle. In fact, the truth is quite the opposite. America has gone to great expense and effort to rebuild those countries, donating technology, money, resources and countless man-hours without asking anything more in return other than they give their citizens the ability to self-govern as we do.

Of course, I'm in no way implying that America is acting purely out of the good of it's heart. It makes perfect sense to have more and more democratic capitalistic nations around. More allies (hopefully) and more markets for us to seel our wares.

The fact cannot be argued, however, that the "limo-liberal" set tend to make very broad and open claims pertaining to how America should act yes very rarely do you see them acting in the same way publicly.

True, I cannot speak to their private lives because I am not privy to it.

I'm sorry but I gotta call you on your post. Why enter a thread that you have allready read about just to call it pointless, post a link to another pointless thread, and then make a comment about said pointless thread topic. Pretty pointless, don't you think?

"and what makes our world right?"

The fact that its ours. I'm sorry, we can't both be right, and we can't both be wrong. Since it is a matter of perspective, and thus a matter of pure opinion, that means one must be right and one must be wrong.

I am right.
