Perhaps better PR would help.

All you hear the US doing overseas is bombing countries into the ground...

Because that is all the media wishes to report as it drives up views and or readers. Think bigger, don't let the media dictate your opinion. Ya the media would love nothing better than to convince the world that all the US military is out to do is bomb little helpless people back into the stone age. Give me a f***ing break.

Don't buy into the propaganda. Just think for yourselves for a God damn change and ask yourselves some questions. Like why would the US bomb said country into the ground.... Hummm could it be because there is a larger goal or issue at stake? I don't know and I really don't want to speculate. All I know is that we are not doing this simply to do it as the world media has seemed to decree. In fact who the hell are these SOB's that they can tell you and I what to think and what we should believe? They are nothing more than rich SOB's out to make themselves richer off of our interest in whats going on. They cast the US in a bad light and feed the fires of resentment not over fair and accurate news, but over the all mighty green back, deutch mark, frank, rupple, pound, Loonie, or whatever the hell your currancy is. They are telling us what they think we should know in such a way as to stir the fricking pot. The truth died long ago and with it, any resemblence of real news. Hell if it were Bill Clinton doing this the UN would be selling seats like it was major sporting event. "Come one come all, come get rich quick off the scams we running now." The world media would be casting the insurgance in Iraq as the blood thristy criminals they really are and not has the heroic freedom fighters that they are NOT.

I shudder to think of Bill Clinton as SG of the UN.. OMFG NO!!!! And his slevok wife as the President of the USA.. ... No Way In Hell that should ever be allowed to happen. My god the USA would become a puppet nation to the UN.

Oh ya, just for the record, I know that if the crap really came down, our friends the Canadians, Mexicans, and even a few over seas would stand with us. We might bicker back and fourth about this right now, but in 20 years, 50 years, or even a 100 years from now NONE of this will matter. So why waste your time debating it now?

Trust me it won't change a thing, and all it will do is tick a lot of people off at one another that otherwise wouldn't be mad at each other. I say take your opinions and hard line attitudes on over to PBW and hash em out over a nice game of SEIV. Hell play as countries, winner take all.

Maybe everyone here needs to take a break? This is getting a little too heated.

Damn right we'd be with you! Unless you were trying something like genocide....don't think I'd be with you then

But come WWIII, I'll be there, fighting alongside Americans, you can bet on it. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Canada.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Canada.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Canada.gif[/img]

EvilGenius, I agree with nearly everything you have said. It simply is too easy to criticize, and not look at the way things "could have been". Most of the time, the other options the US had would have led us eventually to a worse world. I'm not saying I like wars, but sometimes wars are the only way to change corrupt, and just truely evil places. I for one am happy my country is an ally of the US. And I'm sure as hell happy that the US is around....if it wasn't I'd probably be speaking Japanese by now.

Alaska was purchased from Russia, who had conquered it, and Hawaii applied for admission to the US after they had a successful internal revolution by a bunch of plantation owners after the US raised tarrifs (Hawaii's application waited five years before it was approved - plenty of time to discover whether or not the new regime was going to quickly collapse, or itself get overthrown - it didn't). Texas joined the US in a manner similar to Hawaii.
