The Empire Strikes Back
Are americans comfortable with becoming an empire? Military presence and foreign govt control around the globe, no longer hidden but out in the open and more pervasive and aggressive than ever.
The american govt has a grand plan, but are americans comfortable with it? (remember them, the 300 million that dont live in a bunker and do have family in the army)
Here is a link to the plan:

Here is a link to an opinion piece on said plan:

sorry, i dont have an opinion thats publishable, but lets discuss this in the sense that Empires have come and gone throughout world history, always with violent endings. is this a wise path?

Believe me, if you haven't anything to say about it then this thread'll drop like a 21,000lb daisy cutter in this forum.
Me? I have nothing. I'm worn out with the debates and shit. We (American citizens) are powerless right now. The last election proved that.
These sites are just that...web sites that promote each others views...and I couldn't care a less...

Have many of you been to the middle east before? Are any who were raised or live in the middle east now willing to comment on this. I've lived in the persian gulf (pre-9/11) and was able to meet people from all over the middle east: qatar, uae, bahrain, saudi arabia, iran, iraq, and more. Its another world altogether, completely different belief system. And of course thats just a generalization as between each middle eastern nation there are extreme variations as well. But one thing is for sure, its not something a Starbucks and Baby Gap in Bhagdad can cure. Yet the u.s. empire and its 'expansion/war' will be paving the way for 'new markets' that the faltering mismanaged american corporations so desperately need.
Its all outlined in the link I provided at the start of this topic, shaping the political climate so it is friendly to the US, key US resources, and US interests (read corporations: remember Bill Gates in Africa: we want to get the africans up to speed with technology, ie sell them computers and software).

otherwise, props to GWB. Maybe I'll invent a hilarious refridgerator magnet and cash in on selling millions to people in Ameraq, "its scudweiser time" or something like that.
But scary too.
And they have cool little iBooks, did you ever notice that?
Their blue bibs are soft too.
I think they talk like Watson from Sherlock Holmes.
Except like pigs would do.
And they like their jobs.

Man, that thing is SLOW! And no firepower? WTF?!
Ugnaughts like scotch very much.
Most Ugnaughts first name is "Scotty".
They wear very small Hushpuppies brand walking shoes.
Ugnaughts walk A LOT.
Never ask an Ugnaught about Kindergarten. Ever.
Ugnaughts dance like Charlie Sheen on fire.
One time an Ugnaught held my hand.
Ugnaughts know how to bowl like BASTARDS!
Dan Rather fell in love with an Ugnaught one time. Drunk again.
Ugnaughts prefer drinking Venti Caffe Valencia's at Starbucks, but they know that you have to ask for that since it's not listed on the board.
Ugnaughts don't like Scottish people.
Daschunds will chase down and hump the leg of Ugnaughts. They love them.
Boba Fett used to date an Ugnaught but she bit him. BAD.

Yeah but I read somewhere that the Ewoks were supposed to be Wookies at one point. Now that might have been better... unless you remember that bad tv program with Chewbacca.

Ugnaughts favorite comedians are Harvey Korman and Tim Conway.
Sometimes Ugnaughts like to talk about how good Art Carney was in that special.
There's an Ugnaught that lives near me who named his Mylorki Beast "Harvey Korman".
I don't own any exotic pets.
