    Funny thing is that the UN was actually starting to pressure the UK about Las Malvinas before the war. Then that absolutely stopped all conversation then and for the future, sucks really. * dictatorships.

    have to agree. Las Malvinas are off the coast of argentina yet are uk territory? *? such are the effects of hundreds of years of imperialism and colonialism.

    Both are empires,USA will fall no ones immune from it,the middle east imo would deteriorate and other countries would get invlolved for starters.I think the USSR's disintegration for example was relatively bloodless because there was lack of religious motivation.

    think that was also its downfall. maybe not so much lack of religion actually but definetely the lack of nationality. if it was the Russian UUSR or something then it maybe would have been more reilient but ,imo, but as it was effectively a collection of completely different countries and cultures under the Soviet banner, i think that was partly a contributing factor to its downfall.

    Up until Hitler went on his rampage for a master race his/their goals were to become the one and only super power in an economic sense. The goal was to have presence in as many countries world wide and "encourage" them to use Germany as their first port of call trade wise. I'm not saying that the tactics used are the same (though it would be interesting to see how many have fallen at the hands of America since WW2), just that the aims are similar in terms of establishing themselves in foreign land. Hence why I said they are as close to it than any other.

    That's typical colonialism/imperialism. You can't separate Hitler's economic goals from his racism. He wanted the Aryans to be the most economically powerful race, and Germany to be a land of purity. There's no American race. What the US does is typical colonialism and imperialism, something that's been a widespread plague on less powerful countries for centuries. But when you say they are like the Nazis a) you're wrong because there's no racial intentions (anymore) behind the exploitation and b) you're intentionally linking them to the most evil regime in world history rather than bringing up the problems of Colonialism and imperialism, because the debate revolves around "well are Americans like Nazis" instead of "why does the World Bank and IMF consistently exploit countries which need their loans." The linking to the Nazis by your part is kind of ridiculous, because they never really succeeded in their colonialism and so therefore can't really be compared anyways, and also because there are many other imperialistic powers which have much more in common. The UK, France during colonial times, the USSR during the '70s, etc.

    on a serious note, it wouldn't be very funny if the usa collapsed. the european ecconomy crisis would become even worse.

    let's face it, the European Union is a failed experiment, it will never work also I question the motives of those in charge. we should rather sort out our problems first than hoping other nations collapse.

    even though the american governments may got one or two skeletons in their closet, i'd still rather have them as world police than the russians or chinese.

    Would stopping serbian terrorists from spreading genocide across an entire region of europe while the rest of the world twiddled its thumbs be a crime?

    American foriegn policy is in no way shape or form anything like that of the nazis, if any nations foriegn policy is close to hitlers it would be Russia or China who slowly gobble up smaller nations while testing the resolve of the rest of the world

    When it comes down to the truth of the matter, having the US acting as the "worlds policeman" is better than having any other nation handle that role and it is certaintly better than having russia or china or even the EU who would need 3 committes and a international summit just to solve what they are ordering for dinner, * help the world if we need to count on them for anything.
    Everyone can complain about what the USA has done, and yes it has done some pretty bad things, but at the end of the day I doubt anyone of you would get of your sofa and interupt your daily routine of browsing the internet just so you could go half-way around the world and stop some psychotic idiot from blowing up a bosnian mosque or raping and killing an afghan woman because she dared read a book. If you had your way these nasty things would be taken care of and you wouldn't have to interupt your wonderful little lives reading about it in the paper, but unfortunetly the world is not naturally a peaceful place and it does require someone or something to keep the peace.

    No, that would be chivalry.

    Bombing the country for 78 days, killing innocent civilians and destroying all even remotely important objects is also another act of chivalry.

    Have to disagree. There's no way the US or anyone for that matter could attempt something like that. You have to remember that the people of NK only know one way of life.

    The party is intrinsically linked with society that to destroy one would be to destroy the other. It'd be an absolute nightmare. A quick 'in and out' is simply not viable.

    just shows how uneducated you are with bs comments like that.

    genocide..what a load of bullshit, the jewish community leader of kosovo ceda prlincevic said the serbian nation is not genocidal..

    cleansing 250,000 serbs from a land they lived for five hundred years is a crime..and that was backed by america...as well as supporting islamic extremism..that is a crime.

    i seem to remember that the usa and the uk forced nato to get inviolved in the former yugoslavia,protecting muslim and other minority against serbian aggression and genocide,much against the wishes of france and germany,that was quickly forgotten by those who scream against u.s imperialism,and those who liken usa to crusaders,the option of losing usa as a world protector/policeman,and gaining a russian,chinese or muslim dominated world does not bear thinking about for those of us who are not anarchic teenagers or tommy sheridan lala land trotskyists.
