hi, Please understand that U.S. forces are actually not out spreading democracy or ideology or faith, yet that the present IRaq conflict replaced into started on the concept of scuffling with terrorism, yet with the actual objective of merchandising U,S. corporation pastimes in another country, alongside with the desire of coming up a perpetual conflict state against pronounced terrorism an attempt to maintain the Republicans in skill. while they got here across this replaced into no longer a achieveable attitude, the Republican leaders began to bankrupt the U.S. economic gadget, hoping to discredit any destiny non-Republican agendas. faith does not enter into this, basically greed and the lust for skill.. The U.S. can't even take a ethical stand against an needless to say evil foe inclusive of in Sudan or North Korea for concern of frightening the bonds sturdy with the chinese language political elite. be conscious that no church homes are being outfitted with the help of U.S. forces, nor are political races being held with a assure of fairness and openness. thank you on your question.

Yea, that whole cap and tax thing will cost trillions. Forcing our values on the world is a wasted exercise. Junk science will be the lever that forces socialism on all of us.

Force cannot do that. The ideas have to be palatable to the people they are offered to. Europe was ready, as was Japan. Most of the rest of the world I doubt it.

Far too many. We don't have that right, and it's horrible of us to think that we can force the rest of the world to accept our way of living as the best way of living. Almost makes you pine for the days when we went out of our way to stay out of the way of other countries.

You haven't seen anything yet. As the US dollar devalues and stops being used as the world wide reserve currency our military might will be unleashed and there will be much death.

the power? not directly, no.

indirectly in the form of example and success? ah -- now you're cooking with gas. that we can do.

The UN can't even do that. Thank god.

Peace

We've been trying for years,it hasn't work yet.
