the United States has been the most successful, most productive country in the world. Clearly our system is the best. Don't you agree with president Bush that we should spread our system throughout the world?

No. Every country has the right to grow at its own rate, as long as it is not attacking us in the process. EVERY successful democracy in the world has moved to democracy internally--from within its own country. To think you can FORCE people to be democratic is like thinking you can beat someone into loving you.

I do believe that international democracy will eventually lead to world peace if anything will.
However, People of any country must choose democracy. It goes against the very nature of democracy to attempt and force it on them. We don't need to force it on everyone anyway, democracy is going to spread world wide wether we like it or not.
Take a look at this, the number of democracies in the world by year....
1789 - 1 (United States)
1857 - 4
1907 - 14
1933 - 24
1947 - 45
1973 - 67
1999 - 89
I think democracy is spreading already....

Justice, is a good start and if you only judge success by power and money then yes we are #1 but many if not most other countries have other values besides that, and many cultures place far less emphasis on that. Countries with long histories often place more value on cultural identity of which we have very little. World Domination looks far closer to what you are describing.

there is another way. it might help to alleviate problems if three of the peoples of God were to be represented by a symbolwith a symbol from each to represent important personages each of in the belief structure as well as the importance of the peoples of GOD for example a Star Of David as an easily identifiable one so suitable even though it is of a king it also represents God and place it on a cross on the place where the pieces meet to represent the importance of both Christianity and Judaism and Jesus and the origins of Jesus. then some other symbol to represent Islam. this would make things more tolerant as there would be a physical sign of the similiarities of all three. if all could be integrated as part of the integral teachings of the church to be taught in the church the importance of all three of the peoples of God as well as Jesus and some of the important personages even though this is already known but actually mention them in writing in the Bible as well as Jesus then this might help.at the very least it would make discrimmination of either of them against eachother harder or for anyone else as together they would form a mighty tree which would have to be attacked byanyone seeking to harm one of the others. united it would be very difficult to do so as this would destroy the very fabric of three civilizations. if all were attacked it would reveal the bigotry of those who did so and they could not as to attack would be to attack a people it has been decided it would be criminal to attack.it would be in any case.it will not solve al problems but at least alleviate them. of course this will be seen a stupid by everyone and i will be mocked and people will think this is better left unsaid and would prefer to mock people then resolve situation s but i do not care i like the idea and if anone mocks me for anyreason outside of this it does not matter aas there is likely none interested they are all a spitfull bunch are humans

No. We achieve world peace with free speech. You have it. So do I and those who answer you.
When enough of us stand up for what is true, instead of allowing lies to be spread, it will help a great deal and help determine who should be in charge of this country.
Ascribing false ambitions to him doesn't compliment your argument.
It's not complimentary to yourself, either.
You have no idea what it is to be a patriot. It's very simple. Democrats and Republicans can be patriots. Protests and Cheers can be patriotic.
Your actions are not.

If you take away Israel, most of the world's problems are solved. But friend, any peace the world will ever have will be short lived. Too many souls are consumed by greed or hate for peace to be actual.

Capitalism and social-democracy /have/ been spreading throughout the world. That's one of the thing that drives the anti-globalization set crazy.
No conquest required.

No, if you go by the very reasons we left Great Britian you will find that is faulty thinking. We should not impse our system on anyone, nor should anyone impose their sytem on us. It is the American Way.
