    How so?

    Just out of curiosity, when was the last time you've been overseas or spoken to someone who lives abroad?

    Do you have any idea what the general sentiment is towards Americans worldwide?

    AND when in recent history has the US government had to take such drastic measures as those that are presently being taken.?

    Please show me another "SUPERPOWER" that has taken such a measure...

    Oh, and you can drop the condescending attitude anytime now. I think you overestimate yourself.

    No, I haven't traveled internationally. I never dispute the notion of America's lack of popularity internationally. zzzz.

    Amazingly vague.

    Also amazingly vague. That being said, America definitely matches the criteria for a superpower... and pretty much any academic, statesman or anyone rational and informed will agree.

    Oh, and you can drop the condescending attitude anytime now. I think you overestimate yourself.

    Yes, I am being condescending and overestimating myself because I told you that you were using bull**** to further your argument. Please sir, very petty.

    I suppose when you invoked the intentionally vague "drastic measures" you meant things like the invasion turned simmering guerilla conflict in Afghanistan or the invasion for a million shady reasons turned simmering civil war in Iraq and our inability to completely pacify either.

    The USSR, with one of the two most potent armed forces, occupied Afghanistan with twice as many troops as the current U.S. backed coalition in Afghanistan and still failed to pacify ANY hostility there after ten years.

    As for Iraq, the Neo-Cons decided they could deny China more oil and bankroll the military industrial complex at the same time. Its no surprise that it eventually turned to civil war with two closely settled religious groups with hundreds of years of acrimonious history between the two and a lack of extremely heavy handed discipline to keep them in line.

    Both states of affair utilize an unacceptable amount of U.S. military assets and dilute the amount of power we can project internationally. But neither are contrary to a country with military, economic and political superpower status.

    Amazingly vague.....LOL....And so is your rebuttal....

    Being that you oppose my views and being that you're the omnipotent super brain that you'd like to believe yourself to be, surely you'd have an answer for what you deem as being bullshyt, correct?.


    Like I have stated before and like other people have pointed out already, you give yourself way too much credit. Your pseudo intellectual act is not impressing anyone here.

    If "drastic measures" isn't vague I don't know what is. zzzzz. Check previous page.

    I'll express exactly what you said but in an intentionally dumb way so you get a hint.

    "THE US IS DOING CRAZY THINGZ. REFUTE THIS CLAIM."

    Please. I'm not going to sit here and explore every possibility that could be concealed under that rather large umbrella.

    If anyone here is being pseudo intellectual its not me, considering I specifically refuted your statements from the first post and afterwards all you had to offer me was something as specific as "drastic measures", which even if it was true, would not be contrary to a country holding superpower status.

    I'm impressed by your ability to regurgitate googled info....

    YOU SURE SHOWED ME!

    and secondly, that is definitely not what I was refering to but then again, Mr. omnipotent, you so should been able to see that.....

    I didn't google it nor would it make the information any less valid if I did (and it was valid). More over, omnipotence is absolute power over the universe, not the ability to know your thoughts. That's omniscience. zzzz. At least get that right.

    You are indeed BSing and this post I've quoted is evidence of that, whenever you'd like to state, support and explain your position I'd be happy to have a discussion with you. You aren't doing any but the first at the moment.

    Don't worry about it man, any time you state something other than general knowledge some will assume it comes from google as if people don't open books any more.
