    Also let's add to the discussion the fact that Japan was isolationist up until a certain country forced trade down their throats. Guess which one? So who fault was it that Japan industrialized and was able to get to the point it could attack the US and China.

    The intelligence field this is called blow back.

    The US does not bomb everyone. That is a mistaken observation. But the US does seem to be sending a message to enemies and that Is that the US wil invade your country, will dethrone and kill you. On the otherhand the US opens the door and allows immigrants from all parts of the world to take refuge in the US and to be viewd the same as any other American.

    5go Well which is it...are we a bunch of imperialistic pigs or indifferent assholes? Care to educate me about the Marshall Plan that rebuilt Japan and Germany into the counties that they are today? For being a bunch of indiferant assholes, America sure helped Europe after the war.

    I would rather be poor in The USA than rich in modern Europe. Given the opportunity Europe will again become imperialistic. I said again. Europe has now the Euro aproach but give it time or chance and they will bonb if they have to.

    I saw a conspiracy show on vacation that I'd never seen before and it basically blamed America for every single modern historical event. It was ridiculous and I was thinking; "There's gotta be something they think the US isn't responsible for?".

    Maybe that's where 5go gets his info.

    As a side note: Ironically, that's also why I argue with people who literally have 0% good to say about the WT.

    Goodnight all.

    Wow!

    I would rather be poor in The USA than rich in modern Europe.

    You've obviously never been poor in the USA.

    It is not 'America' who wants to bomb other countries, it is just certain Americans. You know.....the ones that the electorate vote into power. ;)

    Now Hillary, I refuse to take responsibility for the current administration. Besides, the electorate didn't vote him into power. He stole it. I mean that in all seriousness. It is a fact.

    Gopher,

    This is the satirical side of the left.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    When the US does, they are Imperialists. When the US doesn't, they are heartless.

    I am going to remember this thread and if Iran manages to kill 5.5 million Israelis some day I'm going to ask you how you feel about your position in 2008 and whether you think mocking McCain for his bad joke was pretty insignificant.
