you seem to be advocating slash and burn foreign relations. You seem to be of the opinion that our foreign policy should be if you don't agree with us, we'll kick the crap out of you until you do.
But history doesn't bear you out. Time and time again throughout history the military conquerer has eventually been soundly defeated. Rome, Napoeleon, Britain, Nazi Germany, Japan - all of them finally pissed off enough of the world that they got pounded, and not one of them has returned to anywhere near their full territorial glory. If that's the end that you want to see happen to the United States then we're on the right path to achieve that goal. Eventually we're going to piss off the world enough that they turn against us militarilly and suppress our power out of self defense. After all, we're a very dangerous bully right now. We've had a wonderful time poking our tanks into places they do not belong for decades, and not one of those little excursions has turned out well for the interested parties. Eventually the world will put a stop to it and stamp out the danger that we have become.
