hooberus,
You cannot compare non-reproducing, non-biological objects with reproducing, biological ones. One is a closed system and the other is not. One has a lineage with variation and the other does not. Your argument is a straw man.

Badger,
...Reagan (Tho I hate him) did finish off the cold war.
That is HIGHLY debateable. Many feel the USSR would have collapsed on their own without the US spending a gazillion dollars on nuclear bombs. And now, of course, we (and they) have a ton of WMD. How pleasant!

So, let's say that ALL the governments on the planet would get an "F" in terms of their politics. Does that mean it's okay for one of them to say, "we are no better than anyone else" and continue their miserable failure rate?
At one time most all governments have tolerated slavery in one form or another. Does that make it right?
And -- Who says the US must "emulate" anyone? Why not just do the right thing in the first place?
Nevertheless, I think Switzerland and most of the Nordic countries do a better job at world affairs. Throw in post-war Japan as well. There are others as well.

still,
This is utter nonsense. That's like asking in the first century AD "Who should the Roman Empire emulate? Who builds better roads? Who is more powerful?"
Come on.

Yeru,
Forget it. I don't wish to discuss things with you as that is about as pointless as trying to convince a JW that they don't have the truth. Utterly futile. Have a nice day.

Let me make something very clear:
I am, in my little life in suburban Chicago, quite content. But, to be content in one's immediate surroundings is not intellectually or morally satisfying to those who wish to think beyond their immediate surroundings. Especially is this so when the powers that are responsible for your relative contentment are also responsible for the deprivation and, in some cases, murder of others. Not a nice feeling at all.
