This would be a person doing this, an individual. Not a country, not a government. I'm saying that there are only individuals. Every soldier who travels overseas to kill strangers is a murderer; he, and he alone, pulled the trigger. Acting under the charade of government is no excuse. If he thinks he's doing it because Bush ordered him to, he's the one that gave Bush that imaginary power over him. We all make our own choices.
To put it back ontopic, noone could 'conquer' the concept of America against the will of the people who live within that geography. Just like, if Iraqis will not accept the idea, they will never be conqured no matter how many bombs we drop. It all comes down to people accepting an idea rather than anything real.
