Wot! America...Fruit doesn't fall far from the tree? Wot! Americans and their ever-multiplying armies appear to be spreading all over the world. They all too often bring death and destruction wherever they go and then elect subservient puppet governments.<BR/><BR/>If humans could think beyond the narrow, divisive, imperial, nationalist-capitalist paradigm, then peace might have a chance. <BR/><BR/>The Superpower Concept should have died centuries ago!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-38496710958996032652008-08-28T00:00:00.000+01:002008-08-28T00:00:00.000+01:00Q - You won't get any argument from me Q, I ha...Q - You won't get any argument from me Q, I have always maintained that the British Empire was probably the worst behaved and immoral empire ever. The way we acted and treated other nations in the past is indefensible and i have never tried to justify it in any way. <BR/>How the British acted as the worlds superpower is still reverberating today, and Kashmir is a perfect example along with events in Palestine & Zimbabwe. I have laid the boot into Britains past and present on many occasions so i agree with all you say above, would be ignorant of me to argue otherwise.<BR/>As for today's superpowers and potential superpowers, it seems business as usual.Falling on a bruisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05518409624331248084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-31154479757855621712008-08-27T16:57:00.000+01:002008-08-27T16:57:00.000+01:00Lucy,It seems the current super powers haven't lea...Lucy,<BR/><BR/>It seems the current super powers haven't learned anything from hundreds of years of bad European behaviour and domination. Ooops, I take that back. They learned how to behave badly... <BR/><BR/>They say the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.<BR/><BR/>Well, the US still has a way to go before approaching what the European empires did to Europe, Asia, North America, South America, India, Africa, and the Middle East circa 1400 thru 1944. Quite a legacy actually. let's not go back any further because we'd have to consider the Roman empire as well. <BR/><BR/>Should we leave the Australian and New Zealand "cleansing" out of this discussion? Yes, let's not mention that... <BR/><BR/>Dang it. Is any significant nation or empire untarnished? <BR/><BR/>Q<BR/><BR/>PS - you forgot to mention Euro involvement in both Iraq and Afgan... hard to break old habits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
