PNAC....?

I like this even better.........eh... amigo....

this posted by one of the more Liberal types on FADG, fell off his meds and got hit in the head with some reality......

The U.S. exercises more power, in more places, and in more ways (military, cultural, economic), than any other nation in history ever has. There are 200 "independant" nations on the planet, but for almost all of them, their sovereignty is heavily restricted, directly (by U.S. army, State Dept., our funding or threats not to fund various programs) or indirectly by U.S.-dominated organizations with global reach (IMF, World Bank, multinational corporations). The U.S. dollar is becoming the global currency, our Federal Reserve exercised power globally, English is becoming the global language, our Universities are where much of the elite of every other nation is trained. This concentration of power in one nation, is unprecedented. We are witnessing a unique historical event, something that has never existed before.

It is an exaggeration, but not much of one, to say that the U.S. government is the de facto world government, and the U.S. military is the world police.<b/>
