I have to agree with the statement, the US government and its military are out of control and with each passing day they bring our species closer to extinction.
The US is financially ruined, but continues to spend trillions of dollars per year on better ways to kill people
If the US becomes a third world nation, the rest of the world may have a small chance to survive.
If it continues to go the way it is, we will never see peace again as the USA’s only export product is weapons, war and death and the only import is the rape of other countries natural resources and control of the drug trade.

I'm trying to be a humorously sarcastic here.
You don’t like the way things are going? Then submit…it’ll all be ok afterwards.
Unfortunately, conflict is the way of mankind.

Fortunately, not all mankind agrees with that.
What happened to turning the other cheek?
Or if someone wants your shirt give them your coat too?
How about not striking the second blow?
Imagine if we had not started all the wars after 911? Instead, been forgiving? Do you think the world at large would have less respect after that? Or more?
I wish I could shower you with stars, for that; but I'm only allowed one!
Well said!
I don't mean to inflate your ego but...

I disagree. I am no fan of some of the US policies, but a world run by the autocracies would be far worse. I am quite happy to live in my liberal western democracy, with all its flaws. Rather that than living in a society like China or Iran where you are really curtailed in what you can do and think. Think human rights then do some travelling to some of these countries and you'll soon change your mind.
Regards

Uh you dont even know me so to assume I'm not travelled, was a big mistake. I currently live in Algeria and have a degree in International Studies, I am a westerner as well, think human rights, think how often they are all morally justifiable to the point where morals are limitless.

If you watch Ahmadinejad in interviews (i guess depending on the translator) he seems very educated and actually has some intellect in which he speaks. Has anyone checked to see if he was educated in the US??
and I don't understand how people can be so naive, and STUPID,
