<font color=blue> You wrote:" Look again at the definition of "conquer". Invasion is not necessary for conquest, only that the country in question bend to our will."<font color=black> Bend to our will? We want the people of the world to live free in democracies and not to support terrorism. If that is what you call "Conquer the world", then you are ingenuous and naive. Do you oppose democracy and freedom? <font color=blue> You wrote:"Of all the nations you listed that we've "liberated", in how many do we not still maintain military bases? "<font color=black> How many of those bases are not to maintain the peace and the freedom of democracy of the people and the area? I can't believe that you are so blind to the motivation for American military bases in foreign countries. Not only does our military bases protect those areas, but they also are an economic benefit for the areas, or as in Cuba, they are their to protect our nation. <font color=blue>You wrote:"How would you feel if France installed a base in your town?<font color=black> If we were a small country and were threatened by our neighbors and France was a superpower who were willing to sacrifice themselves to provide peace and stability, then I would welcome them. Can't you see or understand the difference? <font color=blue> You wrote:"I love America, I detest what I see her turning into."<font color=black> Many are like you. You don't want to lift a finger for anyone else. If another country or people is living in misery, you say the hell with them. The world's freedom from tyrants is due to the sacrifices of the American military. While we have made some mistakes, the good things we have done should make every good and loyal American proud. You say you love America, but you don't acknowledge any of the good that America has done, and is doing. With patriots like you America needs no enemies.
