Did the Romans? the Huns? the Vikings? the Souix? the Aztecs? The Normands? What about the French in the early 1800's? The Greeks under Alexander? Iraq in 1990? The USSR in the late 40's? Nazi Germany in the 30's-40's? The Mongols? The Japanese in the 30's-40's? the Cromagon(sp?)?
The Hitties? The Egyptian? The Nubians? And don't give me the line about what the USA did in the past I'm Clearly talking about the time when each of these peoples were the most powerful, JUST LIKE the USA currently IS!!!!!
I loved this and agree 100%.

I think however that you will hear people say that we are attempting to use our economic might to somehow enslave the rest of the world to our will even if we do not invade and occupy.....but I do not see it that way. Good Post! [img]graemlins/2gunfire.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/1daisy.gif[/img]
