Heh this is what I dont get about you people . Do You honestly think USA is the only country that can secure peace around the world

?
Might I remind You that about 300-400 years ago USA
did not exist (or do you think that "on the first day God created The States..."

?) ,
but as You know (or at least should know) the know civilization does exist much longer than that , and somehow they managed to avoid total destruction
.
A few hundred years ago that mighty empire that supposedly keeps terror and the whole league of bad gentlemen at bay was inhabited by people that did
not know what "pants" are (no offense to any native American as I have the up most respect for You , just trying to make a point here)
Even thou I respect the USA for what they did in the WWII (they even helped out my country here and there) , it does not mean it is the one and only
country that deserves to wage global war against anybody and everybody it pleases just because it feels like it.
I know that allot (if not most) of the citizens of this country have been indoctrinated into believing that are above the rest just because they live
in the states but that is not the case. I salute the rulers of the US (both parties

)because they managed to create an army of robots blind to
anything that is out of the boundaries of their states with some awesome display of propaganda.
You do know that 3/4 of your life has been on credit , right ? riiight

You see that is why the economy of the states is collapsing (among other
thing , but this is one of the major factors). People had everything from cars to socks on credit . It was made so easy to get credit for anything
that people did not bother to even consider if they will be able to pay up , naaah , why ?
"Give them everything they want for a normal life , let them have their beloved car and their x-box with a flat 42 inch plasma , add a house as a
bonus .. how are they going to pay ? nah just give it on credit . In exchange for that they will do anything they are told without question.. Ahh just
remember to make a specialized system of education so that we can create highly specialized drones "(ask a US chemist anything about chemistry and he
will recite from memory ... ask him who Mozart was and he will tell you he is fairly sure he was a painter or somebody famous... Let me ask You , how
many out of 10 US citizens if asked would show me where Afghanistan or Iran is on the map?. )
But this is not Your fault , this is the way this society was supposed to be build, and it is highly effective on a country wide scale. The problem is
, the ones governing You did not anticipate the utter failure of Your recent war , and with that the collapse of You own economy , which was based on
myth
Economy crisis happens , people cant pay credits , thus the credit market collapses , thus people start loosing everything they had because , well
because none of it was really theirs.
And now , well now the USA has to show that they are needed in the world , but how ?They have nothing to export , their car industry collapsed , they
do not have any natural resources that they can spare because its a damn big country and You need everything you have , You do not have any new tech
that the Japanese don't have , so what is left ? well WAR is left as You have spend SO much money on the war fund that this is Your only export
product that You can spare , but You see the rest of the world is tired of preemptive war because the last one didn't go as well as it was supposed
to.
Tell me looking at today , what is the difference between today and 7 years ago ? .. Nothing , the "terrorists"are still at large , nothing has been
gained from this (unless you count allot of happy generals that could try out new toys ) but You still want to wager another war with another country
that might or might
not be the enemy. I see that Vietnam and the recent war on terror did not teach you allot did it ?
And You can add me to your foes list if that is what you like (you know who you are

) , I am just expressing my view on the whole matter.
