The British Empire was a great thing, contrary to popular rumour to the contrary. For example, compare Hong Kong after the British left to China after Mao died.

The Americans foolishly have acted to oppose Britain all too often. Conquest of Islamic Jihad would be a good thing.

The American Empire is a good thing too. Compare my lifestyle before QUALCOMM to after QUALCOMM. Imagine life without GPS. And thousands/millions of other things.

It's very good that the USA can send Predators looking for Osama who has to be very careful not to be visible from the sky.
