<< you are naive if you think the united states exercises it's power with only words. obviously it's our actions that have created worldwide enemies. >> And if we built a wall around our country that would make everyone our friend?? Please. << the famous tarriff you are referring to wasn't instated until well after the depression had begun. >> As I said, it wasn't a cause. << a more logical and reasonable explanation for what kept us mired in the depression was the extreme tax hikes >> Hello?? What is a tarriff if not a tax?? << we've been the most prosperous nation for quite a while now, long before new world orders and globalism and interventionism. >> Oh really now. I say globalism predates the very existence of America, though it may have been better known as colonialism back then. At the very least, the first stab a a "new world order", the League of Nations, came at a time when America was only viewed as a marginal first-rate power, much less the top of the heap. << did the 7,000 people in NY and DC deserve to be slaughtered? NO. are the perpetrators who committed the violent slaughter justified? NO. like the rapist, should they be punished? YES. were there steps we could've taken and still can take to avoid placing ourselves in harm's way from terrorists? YES >> But gee, wouldn't punishing the perpetrators be imposing our morality upon them? And what about countries that are our allies only BECAUSE we are such a close partner with them, and would turn on us if we withdrew our support? The only problem is that there's no way to fit that into your neat rape allegory.
