Let me break some things down for you.
Your American flag a symbol of how the white, racist minds of your founders built up enough equity in your land, so much so that they proudly raped it's aboriginal people and it's imported slave community; of their culture and dignity.

No denial here. But I assume you country was bread out of purity into purity. Know one got fucked...did they?

So don't talk to me about your flag of "unity and peace". The American Eagle proudly presents your true meaning. In the grasp of one claw it has an olive branch, in the grasp of it's other, it has arrows. Drop the arrows, if you truly desire to dominate the world.
|
We don't want to dominate the world. The US has gotten itself into tons of trouble from continuously trying to help the world.

Tell me what Americans get out of this false collective belief that you're number one? Nothing, that's what you get. This has been force fed to you through clever media marketing and capitalistic propaganda. The only people you can brag to, is yourselves.
|
It's not a false belief. We are number one. Find me a country in need that wouldn't KILL to have the US economy. Even as shitty as it is right now.

When you get into other peoples business as much as the US does, you should expect to be knocked down a notch and be put back into the realm of reality. If I hear another of these stupid "we are the best comments" I swear I'll take a bat to the guy.
|
The US is screwed where or not they get in the mix. If we don't, the attitude changes to hate because we aren't helping. Oh, and...If you bring a bat, relish the moment. Afghanistan helped Al Qeada bring a bat. Look what they got in return.

The space program was developed just to give the American people something to be proud of, not that much of an accomplishment if you ask me. Presidents 30-40 years ago took large chunks of the American budget, just to put a man on the moon, in the meanwhile putting America into a downward spiral regarding economy.

You act as is this is the first time it's happened in history. The Acropols, Pyramids, Eiffel Tower, INSERT LANDMARK HERE?

Why? because the almighty red west was getting too close to winning the chairmanship seat in the boardroom of world order. George Carlin said it best "Dick waving contest".
|
I know, I'll let a percieved enemy get the chairmanship. That's smart.

The stuff that's happening, it's nothing new. Reagan was Leading the struggle against the Soviet "Evil Empire" and restoring the strength of the American economy after years of economic recession and inflation, and of national humiliation of Vietnam over 15 years ago. Sound familiar?

I'm not sure what you're getting at.

He rallied them behind the national symbols that the space program embodies: America's drive for exploration and adventure and its scientific and technological achievements.

Yeah, and...?

At a time when national tragedies like the Sept 11 terrorist attacks and the Columbia disaster are broadcast live on television before anxious American and global viewers, the pressure on the American President to 'do something' is enormous.

Are you making excuses in favor, or against?

Not only is the US continuing to move troops to the Persian Gulf in preparation for an attack on Iraq, but there are also reports that additional US air and naval forces are being sent to North-east Asia in response to the escalating crisis over North Korea's nuclear program.

Let's see, a country takes an agressive stance with nukes and you want us not to defen ourselves?

Notice how you jumped on the overinflated ego part of my question? how suprising. It's that kind of big headed response I was expecting, maybe I did have intentions to develop some in depth conversation about the subject. Fucking cry babies.

It worked.

Oh and this number #1 superpower crap should just leave your vocabulary. America is far from being the number #1 superpower. How can any person have that kind of ignorance in their words, when you have the highest population of homeless people.

Homelessness has what to do with superpowerdom [TM]?

What American people have found themselves in, is a situation of many many years of international medling, so much so that everytime someone powers up a reactor, America has to go check it out, and see why they're doing it. Any anger you personally feel, should be taken out on your government who put you in that position.
|
Fuck yeah we check it out. It could be capable of attacking.

America's business is war. The only thing you should be proud of, is your true ability to love your fellow human beings. But hang on, that's a global view that everyone shares, everyone with a true love for life that is.

America's business is not war it's money. It's why this board exists today, and it's why you hang around. If you feel this strongly then go without your US rebills. All you are doing is supporting a cause you hate.
