Come on now, enough with the hyperbole. The US has been a superpower for 60 years, the beginning of which was marked with rebuilding Europe and Japan insead of enjoying the spoils of war, then turned to creating international organizations like NATO and the UN as a response to Soviet expansion, and then worked to clean up hotspots like Yugoslavia, Kuwait, and Bosnia.

I can't say I approve every US action in that span of time (particularly in South America and Southeast Asia), but the basis of comparison is the Europeans. This is a group of people who, when they had the power to, raped and pillaged the rest of the planet for 500 years, before just about destroying themselves in two wars. Now suddenly they're the moral compass for the rest of the planet?

Give me a break :headbang:

Troll value reduced by use of bold text. I give it a two out of ten, and pass the biting on to someone less discerning.

My posting history should make it quite evident that I am, in fact, not trolling. All that I have said above is a matter of public record.

I do think that the current Administration wants control of Middle East oil. Or at least the Businesses that own the Current Administration does.

Oh, there, there. Please remain seated. I'm sure someone will come along and latch on eventually.

Do you actually wish to argue about my concerns, or do you simply wish to make condescending statements? I have nothing else to do for the moment, so if you think you can prove me wrong, go ahead. :)

My aim is neueziel2 and my MSN is gundamexodes@hotmail.com, or we can just argue in this thread (likely the best method).

Oh, heavens, no. I've already participated in my share of pointlessness for today. Would you like a magazine as you wait?

Dude ... I sooo want to think your concerns matter, but, unfortunately, I am a Leftist American Progressive ... so if you're White, Irish, or Catholic, your concerns don't matter to me in the least because I have this need to give your job to a crack baby,

Aye, what happens to them when they escape our abortionist claws.

Yes, indeed. Today's Europeans are - or rather the multilateralism, the reliance on cooperation and understanding they try to represent.
It is certainly a better way of going about things than the aggression that current US policy is all about (and I don't care about "He started it!!!").

Firstly, the first post is trolling. Axis Nova, it doesn't matter that your previous post count has been 'clean', people who haven't broke the rules aren't suddenly immune to it, and have slipped on occasion. Just because you haven't been in trouble before, with trolling, doesn't mean that you won't ever be.

Secondly, Fass, all of your posts in here were not needed. The logical thing to do would be to report it in the Moderation forum, rather than egging Axis Nova on. Your attitude has been very poor, and I suggest that you not do that again.
