We invented football, thermonuclear weapons, napalm, and VX nerve gas. Actually, I believe the British invented VX and then they exchanged that knowledge with the US for our information on how to make Thermo-nuclear bombs. At least I seem to remember reading that somewhere. As for kicking other people's arses, that is not something that has been exclusive to American history. There has been a lot of that going around throughout the world since recorded history. Regards, Ron

>>Will the next nation that wants its ass kicked please stand up?<< For some reason this reminds me of "Slim Pickens" riding that nuke down to detonation, waving his hat in the air, yelling "YAHOOO" in the movie, Dr. Strangelove. Maybe we are more often than not a bunch of "sumbitches." It sure would help if we had politicians of mettle and conviction, instead of poll-watchers. In any case I'm of the mind that the follies of men are - more often than not - driven by the divine hand of "God." FWIW Andy
