HAHA lighten up PD, I am just beating the drum a little to get a response. There could be a Pax Americana but because this Nation is so great, we only want to help. We have no designs to conquest the world or anything else....
The reality of globilization is that US Companies are doing it. I am sure you are familiar with Thomas Friedman, a very good columnist ( though I don't agree with everything he writes), read his book The Lexus and the Olive Tree.
Actually I recomend this book to everyone.... Miss Eve you would like it.
Anyway, the United States gov't SHOULD be viewed with suspicion... hell most people in the US have the same suspicions. Are we perfect? Not even close.... But we do more good then bad, and we have helped shaoe the world towards a good, safe course....
We are a reluctant Giant... if it was up to most of the country, we would just mind out own business and stay uninvolved with the world. But unfortunately we cannot....
You know I like to get worked up PD. I have been watching the news for 2 weeks, constantly - I am very proud of my Country, of our President, and most imporantly the great men in our armed forces! I get carried away and tend to overstate things.... but I am around friends, hopefully I will be forgiven for my Philistine ways.
:P
