Listen there is a difference between preserving your way of life and forcing it on others. The point the majority of people are saying here is america get out of world politics you are causing more problems than you are solving.
You gave arms to Saddam, you sold arms to Iran, you gave arms to Al Quieda, you gave arms to the Taliban, you gave arms and money to the Irish Republican Army.
These are just five terrorist groups or suporters of, four of them have hit you back, yet you still force your policies on other countries.
Saddam Hussain bombs his own people if they don't do what he wants, america (ie the politians) bomb other people if they don't what is the difference.
Yes, you have a very big economy, but it is so big and corrupt that when one of you bosses is found out the world has a recession. So can you not see the harm you are doing to the world.
If you want to fight communism then attack china there are 1.2 billion of them.
By the way you would never have won the vietnam war because of the type of people you are fighting against. They will all die before they surrender and therfore it would never have ended.
Apart from the american civil war name one war you have won on your own.
Thanks Giles.
