Your statment above sounds like John Kerry. He wants "an economy where people aren't working, but the economy is working for the people." Huh, wtf does that mean. Oh sure it sounds good on the soundbite but in actuality it is so broad that it obviously lack focus.
Yes we are the leaders of the free world, and because of our leadership over the last 25 years welterweights like Brazil, S Korea, Tawain, and Thailand have adopted American principles of free market economies and rank among the largest in the world, providing exciting and expanding opportunities not only for its citizens but also neighboring countries who trade with them. Potential heavyweights like China and India could very well carry the torch in the next 25-35 years that America carries now.
These economic successes are a direct result of American lending and American sterwardship. If we want domination we would not have trade deficits with some of these nations.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Militants holding a South Korean hostage in Iraq have agreed to give more time for talks on his fate, an Iraqi mediator told Reuters Tuesday.
Mohammed al-Obedi, an Iraqi working for South Korean security firm NKTS in Baghdad, said Iraqi clerics who were in talks with the captors of 33-year-old Kim Sun-il had told him a deadline for the hostage's execution had been extended.
Kim's captors initially said they would behead him by Monday night unless Korea withdrew troops from Iraq -- a demand that Seoul has refused.
Obedi said he was acting as a go-between in negotiations, talking to the South Korean government and to Iraqi clerics who were in contact with Kim's captors. He said the hostage-takers had not specified how long they would wait before carrying out their threat to execute Kim.
"The kidnappers have said they are willing to negotiate as long as the South Korean government stops making provocative remarks and softens its tone on troop deployment," Obedi said.
Kim was shown pleading for his life in a video sent to Arabic satellite channels Sunday night. In the same tape his captors said he would be killed within 24 hours. Since then there has been no word on his fate.

Ah, I hope our troops find the location where he's being held and 0wn every single one of those mother f'ers. Their lives are worthless...
We're know as the troops of doom to them. I want to keep it that way. Bastards.

It seems you were never a SEAL (don't know too many SEALs who would write "seal") and FYI it's Naval Special Warfare, not navy special forces, you dip$hit.
Why don't you just tell everyone here you were never in the military in the first place? What are you 18-19yrs old? You make me sick.
So maybe you can shed some light on the "terrorists you shot." ****ing moron. You think this is some kind of game where people go overseas and give their lives so you can have the freedom to disgrace their sacrifice?
Is that what you're going to do with the freedom they fought to protect? Make up your life as you go along, believing that because these men deserve such adulation and respect that you'll steal some of it for your own selfish and despicable reasons?
You need to really examine what you said here and find out how you are going to make a difference in the world. You're a real piece of work there loser. What's next, you gonna go on another website and tell them how you single handedly fought the Taliban as a member of the US Army Special Forces?
I despise people like you who want so badly to be like the men of Special Operations yet do not want to pick up the mantle and carry on the tradition of those brave men before them. You are one disgraceful and ungreatful individual.
Why don't you go the www.washingtonpost.com and check out the list of men and women who have sacrificed thier lives for this nation since 9/11 and then go look yourself in the mirror.
Poser.

Pay no attention to dub2w... he has a lot of stock in reynolds wrap if you catch my drift.

Chaotic... props for misquoting me in your rant. From somebody who has to spell out the word "specifics" everytime he writes it, I am surprised that you did not quote the original source (that being another poster) specifically.
You are obviously an intelligent person with plenty of opinions, and make my day half-engaging. If you actually took the time to read my post (reference in post #82), you will see clear, specific, and undeniable examples of things our country has done to stay atop the hegemonic heap (and I am sticking to that vocabulary).
It doesnt matter what books you read. I want to reaffirm the point that the US is a great nation. Granted, we need a defense to ensure the protection of our country. But taking out sovereign, fairly elected leaders (Chile)? Or sponsoring terrorist CIA trained thugs who wipe out free villages (El Salvador under Reagon)?
The ability to concede is the mark of a great nation. If we always claim to be in the right when we indeed are not, we lose international respect and legitimacy, thus nurturing ill-will towards our country.

salty, you know i am down for discourse anytime. Us unpatriotic, dare to think freely, crazy tin foil hat wearing crew is always ready.
By the way, ever hear of the Cult of Mao? (Mao is great, he can do no wrong, worship everything he says and dont question) Scary parallels

Yeah, me too - although most of the time I'm busy trying to take pictures of my aura. Or when i'm not doing yoga, trying to communicate with the Harmonic Space Echelon, I'm crafting tinfoil hats of the highest quality. I'm also busy keeping unpatratriotic as possible, by maybe suggesting that the US is not always right. Cult of Mao? God, they had some great songs in the 80's.

Shortly there after he was informed that his best friend hadn't left Saudi, he is Indian. Terrorist insurgents took his compound hostage where he was living. My dad's friend (John) was not there, he was at work; however his wife and children were home. Unfortunately there is a terrible ending to this story, its conclusion obviously apparent; they all died. My father is very sad. If I had an opportunity to rewind time a stand before the terrorists I shot, I would with out hesitation and pleasure shoot them again… and once more when on the ground. Peace in the Mid-East…Ha! It will never happen.
My 2 cents… = 1 cent.
