More disturbing still was their frequent use of the word "dominance" to describe their strategic goal, because an American policy of dominance is as repugnant to the rest of the world as the ugly dominance of the helpless, naked Iraqi prisoners has been to the American people. Dominance is as dominance does.

Ahh yes, instead we should be subservient to the rest of the world. That's the answer. That will make all the bad go away. Let's all turn to the proper page in the Koran, grow our beards long, and repress women because that's what the terrorists want and God forbid our desires dominate theirs. I'm certain they don't want to dominate us they just want to contain us.

I think maybe the idea is not to be dominant or subservient. Do we really want to be the kind of country who goes, "uh, yeah, you don't think like us or do what we do and we think we are better, so we're taking over." Is that what we want? I mean, yeah, I agree that repressing woman is bad for example, but I don't which we should be violent because of it. Is killing people a better answer than repressing women? I know I'm probaby in the minority, but I don't see how violence is the answer to any of this. There's no way we are ever going to just go around the world and get rid of all the people that don't think like us and then everyone will be happy. Not going to happen. And as I said before that doesn't mean we need to do the opposite and be subservient to other people. Maybe there is some kind of middle path we could take so that we could all work to just getting along? I don't know, I just think that's a better idea than dominance.
