Never-the-less... Bases in 122 countries. Self-appointed role of 'world policeman'. A history of interfering in local elections (from Italy & Greece immediately after WW II... all the way up to the last Russian election)... overthrowing leaders we don't like (whether they are elected or not), like Chile, Guatemala, Iran, etc., etc., nuclear 'Super Power' status, pre-eminence in technology and economically, unmatched military power and global reach (our military spending exceeds the combined spending of the next largest 15 countries, currency globally accepted, leading space-faring nation. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... it's a duck. Face it: we are an 'Empire' by any definition, albeit a 21st. century version of what an Empire is.

"In honor of the many "moderated" (read heavily censored) threads initiated by numerous 1st amendment type liberals I've decided to offer the conservative antidote. This is a place for the more conservative members of SI to hang out to plot the further misdeeds of the VRWC. No pretense will be made that exclusion of any SI poster will be made based upon any objective criteria. All banishments will be made at the sole discretion and fanciful whims of the Moderator. So, if you are not slightly to the right of Attilla the Hun, you won't fit in here." lol Your true colors? len
