So we are so powerful that we cannot stop a group of men from hijacking several planes and taking down the world trade towers and also attacking the pentagon? To say we don't have any weaknesses is being an idiot. And it leads to military defeats like Custard's last stand and having most of our fleet destroyed in Hawaii.
Throughout history there is an ebb and flow of power, and it is foollish to say the US will be all powerful for ever, if ever. As like others we have our weaknesses.
The British used to rule an empire around the world, and the Spanish too and the Romans, and the Greeks, and the Persians,...... see a pattern buddy boy.
Eventually if enough people think like you do, then more and more will hate the US to where eventually more and more people exploit our weaknesses and then we are no longer the most powerful anymore. We don't have the rescourses to take on the world. As you can see we struggle enough fighting shitty wars in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. Imagine a world where we alienate Europe and Asia, but further from that - they feel that we oppress them. Then China and Russia and Germany and Spain and Britian and France could kick the **** out of the USA hands down.
So go smoke that one and quit being a hate monger and desiring war.
Even now we are at war and none of us has to ration and we aren't drafted so we don't feel the effects of seeing innocent people being killed as a byproduct of our wars.
Of the soldiers I know, all of them hate going to war. They hate having to shoot a car coming too fast into the check point only to find it was just an old man who probably dind't know any better.
They hate having to call in ariel support and knowing that it will also take out the innocent people living in that apartment building.
So desire not war - because you know nothing of it.

If you do not think thast this country has any weaknesses you had better look again. How safe are we really? We have alot of people from different countries and how do we know for sure what their motives are? This is just a question not an acusation. I have wndered this from time to time. I have even felt like a traitor for buying gas from a station that I believe is not owned by citizens of the US. Hey I welcome all people but not blindly I have to ask questions in my mind and wonder. It is also very unfair that citizens are treated more lowly than some of the immigrants. This country has two huge problems the way I see it #1 is greed and selfisheness--the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. #2 Most people think that as a country we are so high and mighty and I can assure you with a blink of His eye or a twitch of His wrist or whatever He wants todo God will take this country down hard and probably for the immorality and the way the poor are treated. I support our troops they deserve our utmost respect and loyalty but stop thinking we are untouchable.

Hey here's a wake up call for ya, the united states is NOT the best because if we were there would be no poverty,there would be no war,there would be $$ for funding and the corrupt government wouldn't have to steal from us Americans to get it. We go out everyday bustin our a** working to make a living for ourselvs but yet somehow we can't because half of our money get's taken away for taxes for what reason? Hell we can't even seem to keep a war under control if we were the best we would have already blown up the middle east just like we did to hiroshima in ww2 if anything the government that runs this country is much more corrupt now than when they came over and took this land from the Native Americans

I have noticed al the winging in the answers and the emotions. Comeon guys think for a moment if we dont stand strong in the face of the enemy we will show our weakness. We will loose if we have infighting. We must be strong and send a strong message to the rest of the world. Enough about Christianity and religious talk. We need hard men. Men who can deliver. Weakness is bad. Lets protect our borders and box ourseleves in. Lets not allow anyone in, then we can show them who is the boss. They say might talks and b******t walks. No women no cry SORRY NOT TRYING TO BE CHAEVANIST BUT no weakness please. What are you talking about lossing in Iraq. We took the r to them.. and look at them now..which country do you think isgoing to think about bombing us.. huh?
Right good answers from intelligent people. Why are you guys insulting me. I am just trying to be me. BUT what about my fears and nghtmares. I need reassuarance. I am very confused now.

I'm ashamed that you call yourself a patriot and that you are as closed-minded and unaccepting as you are. We do have weaknesses, all people and nations do, and it is foolish of you to claim that we are here to dominate. You sound like a dictator.

That is very Christian, spiritual and loving! NOT
God created us all, he does not love people from the United States more than people from any where else. He loves us all with impartiality, and we should strive to imitate that quality of love.
Romans 12: 17-21: "Return evil for evil to no one. Provide fine things in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, as far as it depends upon YOU, be peaceable with all men. 19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says Jehovah.” 20 But, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing this you will heap fiery coals upon his head.” 21 Do not let yourself be conquered by the evil, but keep conquering the evil with the good.
Revelation 16: 13-16: "
And I saw three unclean inspired expressions [that looked] like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and perform signs, and they go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.
15 “Look! I am coming as a thief. Happy is the one that stays awake and keeps his outer garments, that he may not walk naked and people look upon his shamefulness.”
16 And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Har–Ma·ged´on. (Armegeddon)
Revelation 11: 18: " But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged, and to give [their] reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”
Daniel 2:44: "“And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;"
Isaiah 9: 6 & 7: " For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7 To the abundance of the princely rule and to peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom in order to establish it firmly and to sustain it by means of justice and by means of righteousness, from now on and to time indefinite. The very zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this."
Isaiah 2:4: "And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.
