Hey I can imagine a world without the US. Here goes:
1) All of Europe and Russia under the control of Nazi Germany. Britain was on the brink of collapse when the US stepped in a with help of allies, mainly in the way of intelligence and espionage, destroyed the then "invincible" German military.
2) All of North America under Japanese Rule. The only thing that stopped them was the Pacific Fleet. The number of American soldiers that died while pushing the Japanese back is ungodly. By the way, this also saved China's ass by doing this.
3) The Total Annihilation of Chechloslovakian Muslims. While this wasa "UN" endeavor, the majority of the troops involved were American and the UN didn't sticks its nose in until the US gave its support. They just sat there, miles away wondering what the Americans were going to do about this.
4) Millions or Possibly Billions Dead of Starvation. The US gives million of dollars and tons of surplus food and grain to Third World Nations every year, helping to save lives.
5) No Cars (Henry Ford)
6) No Planes (Wright Brothers)
7) No TVs (Invented by an American)
8) No Telephones (Alexander Graham Bell)
9) No Lightbulbs (Thomas Edison)
10) No Electricity (Ben Franklin)
11) No Video Games (Pong was invented by an American)
12) NO FREEDOM
When hearing how evil the US is from biased "teachers" and the liberal media, I have just one word of advice. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE UNTIL YOU GET THE FACTS.
When the US initially began its fight against terorism, every country was behind us. Now one year later they seem to have misplaced their balls. Saddam Hussein is not just a threat to the United States, but every civilized nation. People seem to think that he was a very week commander, just the opposite was true.
Saddam Hussein had the largest standing army in the world, armed the weapons from the US Military. To think that he was not a danger is ignorant. The reason why the US Military dispatched him so easily was because Saddam believed that the US M1 Tanks could not cross the desert and entrenched all of his artillery fixed towards Saudi Arabia. He was wrong, and his misguided troops paid for his folly.
Estimates after the Gulf War were that it would take him 10 years to rebuild his army to its former strength. More than that amount of time has passed. He has simply refused to comply with UN regulations on weapons inspections, and the UN being the pussies that they are have done nothing about it. It is nearly fact that he is developing both nuclear and biological weapons and harboring and supporting terrorism against the US, and the UN being the pussies that they are have done nothing about it. The UN seems to have this misguided feeling that if they just ignore Saddam he will dissappear. WAKE UP! Those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it. This is a man that tested chemical weapons on his own people. This is a man that enjoyed watching tapes of his prisoners being tortured to death and was even sexually aroused by it acording to his former mistress. This is a man that attempted to assissinate HIS OWN SON AND FELT BAD BECAUSE HE ONLY CRIPPLED HIM.
And you think this man can be REASONED WITH? You think this man wants PEACE? This man is a lunatic, and a lunatic in power of a country with nearly limitless wealth is too dangerous to live.
President Bush said what HAD to be said. If the UN was not going to do anything to prevent future disasters and terrorism, WE WILL. The US will not sit back and become willing targets as many of our so called allies have. If this means the destruction and temporary occupation of hostile countries, so be it. We have given everyone fair warning that if they harbor or support terrorism, they will be dealt with. Squirrels should not poke wounded bears while they are trying to heal, so Iraq needs to comply with ALL stipulations of their surrender NOW.
Make no mistake, we want the UN to back our actions, but we by no means need them to do what will be done.
If not, well, may God have mercy on their souls.
