As a superpower a nation should have an ability to project itself on a global scale. The US achieves this to a limit through soft force (culture, media, etc...), we are witnessing the "world's only superpower" failing in securing safe, habitable and self sufficient nations on behalf of democracy and human rights. Surely a true superpower would not be in this situation?

If Mullahs manage to get WMDs or Nuclear wepons their three main targets would be
the US (The Great Satan)
Israel (Palestenian Issue)
India (Kashmir Issue)
Probably Britain (For supporting the US)
Shoudnt these countries unite to form a common front to prevent this from happening. United they can tackle this problem more aggresively and take the fight to the Islamists. Your opinion pls?

It is a fact that the bulk of deaths in Vietnam were middle and lower middle class kids-College deferrments (Cheney)-special considerations and placement (Bush)-Oh yea I am a Vietnam Vet-the one positive thing about the draft-is that if the rich kids are forced to go-you are going to be sure it is a War that has to be fought.

This catch phrase was used to get certain politicians elected but have we really seen compassionate conservatism as promised? Should that label be applied to Conserative Republicians? Or is it more suitable when applied to Moderate Democrates?

In this way the world's ruling body has solved a number of matters of hidden enimies.
Internally, USA and USSR were helping each other to point out each others enemies secrets.
Even USA is being controlled from somewhere outside of it.

(continued question) Americans (Christians, Jews, ect.) themselves have hundreds of men every day who abuse their wives sexually, physically, or mentally.

And where do you get these theories from? Television, websites, Yahoo Answers itself?

Im a Muslim woman and in all my years I have never seen a man strike his wife abusivly before.

Yes I understand that the Middle East is based in less modern times in parts and in most parts women don't have the right to vote -- But people take it for granted just because they see a man strike a woman it means all Muslim Men do it (or most).

Places in the Middle East may have laws or people that may be unfair and cruel in an American's standards -- But look at it from a Muslim's view, more then one.

Note; I'm not talking about terrorists.

How one tenth of the top 1% could use their clout and resources for the sole purpose of financing their legacy on our backs is absurd!! Sitting here and watching the madman penalize our entire American Legacy is as painful as a kidney stone expungement. If you dissect this policy in Iraq and try and fit yourself into in it--please save your effort and just give up unless of course you have financial assets beyond the means of most and can afford to invest in the ludicracy---I know it's the American way, but there's got to be a better way to go about it!!
