The ass doesn't even understand the economic and political reasons why colonialism failed world-wide. Not the least of those reasons is the example of American Democracy and Human Rights that has served as a beacon to the peoples of the World who desire freedom and self-determination.

We de-colonized after WWII because the economics didn't work. You can't afford failed socialist experiments and colonization at the same time. We obviously made the wrong choice (especially Europe). Now there are a billion Moslems trying to kill every "infidel" on Earth, and they won't be stopped at any diplomatic table. We have, through our perversion of the concepts of "toleration" (Does one "tolerate" Stalin and his murderers? How about Hitler and his?) and "self determination", as well as our idiotic fashion of cultural leveling, allowed them to drag us back into the Ninth Century, and we now must deal with them in Ninth Century terms. We won't HAVE to occupy them permanently, as was the belief during the height of the "Imperial" period. Nor will we have to kill them all (though 50,000,000 or so may turn out to be a conservative estimate-if our resolve weakens at this, the beginning of the war.). We also cannot reform the backward, ignorant, murderous peoples of this new world IF WE CONTINUE TEACH THEIR FUTURE LEADERS THAT THE WEST IS THE ENEMY AT OUR OWN FINEST UNIVERSITIES. Therefore the fight for the West's survival must (and will) extend immediately into our own intellectually-corrupt and decadent academic community, along with the anti-American media they have spawned at home-which encourages the subtle internal attacks on our system and ideals we have witnessed in the years leading up to the 91101 murders. Their attacks on the culture and our ideals are exemplified by the impeachment fix, the racist, abortive election theft of 2000, and the deterioration of our legal system and economy by greedy and corrupt trail lawyers. Yes it is, indeed, a long an difficult war ahead. And it is thus easy for soft-headed moderates to plead that we roll over and not fight. But, like a cancer, these fatal problems will never go away unless we resolve to fight. But it is NOT the time for America's fall, and our contemporary enemies, internal and external, will NOT prevail...
