The new American "colonies" established by the war on terrorism? Samoa, Puerto Rico, Iraq and Afghanistan. Somoa and Puerto Rico are not new or connected to the war on terrorism at all. Nor in those cases is the US an unpopular hostile exploiting power. Afghanistan doesn't really fit the bill as a colony. At most it would be a client state, and again the US is not exploiting and abusing Afghanistan for the sole benefit of Americans. Iraq is a situation we want to get out of. We aren't trying to get a colony we wanted to kick out Saddam's regime. Now that that is done we could leave but there would be dangerous chaos in the wake of our leaving. We have a responsibility to settle the situation before leaving. Where are the concentration camps? (Don't tell me Gitmo is Auschwitz.) Rome wasn't built in a day. Where are the construction crews for the concentration camps, where are the bills before congress or executive orders establishing such camps, where is the propaganda from a major political party or even a large political organization or publication calling for them? You say Rome wasn't built in a day but it was started one day. Where is the start? Tim
