So why does America think it is so powerful? We look at history and see how they got their collective arses kicked out of Korea, Vietnam, Iraq plus many other countries they have illegally invaded it doesn't look like they are a powerful nation, As for Americas war of terror, Afghanistan is seeing loads of them being deaded so they aint doing so well there, Pakistan, hmmmm, what they doing there anyway? But apart from that the Pakistanies are doing well at killing them, anybody got scores for how many American illegal invaders killed in their country?

Heh, but the good thing is the merican press are now allowed to post pictures of the merican heroes coffins when they are flown back, aint that great

What kind of post is that? If I didn't know you better, I'd take you for a board troll. That kind of ridiculous statement serves only to inflame the American members of the forum.

Would you care to articulate yourself a bit better?

Why does America think it's so powerful? Well perhaps because it is? Regardless of how you define power, whether it be military, economy, resources etc, the USA has bucket loads of it. If Thailand had to take a metaphorical dip in the collective 'power' of the USA, Thailand would be like a surfer on a surf board - USA being the ocean.

With such tremendous power comes responsibility. All of the supernations, USA, China etc stick their noses into the affairs of other countries. Why, because they can and they believe their acting for the benefit of themselves or greater good of all nations. Are these actions good or bad? That's worthwhile discussion...

I edited this post down to this so I could focus on the useful information in other parts of the forum.

I'm done with this particular sub-forum.

Apologies to the mods.

And Metho, I appreciate your encouraging words.

Didn't mean to get too excited.

God Bless.
