An Empire Painted in Blood

Post Reply New Topic

I don't agree with our entering the war in Iraq to invade a nation that had no weapons of mass-destruction; nor do I attempt to justify the invasion of Afghanistan. However, the fact of the matter is, we are currently engaged in conflict, and we can't just leave. Such a thing would be as if punching someone in the face and letting them get up; what do you think they're going to do next? Hit you.



We are an aggressive, imperialist nation skirting around international treaties and even our own Constitutional and moral promises with rhetoric and alienating exploitation of loopholes. The attacks on September 11th did not appear out of the blue. Our nation had those attacks a long time coming. However, the people in those two buildings that day in Manhattan, New York, didn't. And never, would they have the chance to fight back.



The future of our empire is a path paved in blood. The terrorists have opened fire, and we have fired back; unfortunately, not effectively. Our enemy, is an enemy without armored columns or an identifiable capital. They have no national anthem, they have no race, they transcend gender, they elude borders. Our enemy, even lives among us.



In the understanding that we as a nation deserved a punch to the face, but also in the understanding that those who received that impact were not the ones deserving of it which is the real issue here, I call for us to engage, as we've not yet done, our enemy in total war. Evacuate and quarantine the populations of areas controlled by and inhabited with terrorists. Arm the local population and you can guarantee that those who have the means to eliminate terrorists outnumber those who wish to perpetrate it.



And on our own soil we must show a united front. Washington DC must come ablaze with parade marches and music and national unity. Congress and the two-party system as we know it must unify and converge on the premise of the loss that our nation suffered on September 11th, 2001; more fateful a day than any of us I believe will ever encounter. Let us proudly display out military might in the streets of our nation with off-duty reserve soldiers and veterans having parade-marches around the nation; guns and missiles high in the air through the streets of New York City, Chicago, Albany, Washington DC, and every major metropolitan area in the United States of America. Not in the name of martial law, but in the name of the souls who watch over us today, in hopeful wait. Let the united sound of our boots crashing down upon the pavement and concrete be a sound for our enemies to fear and from which they shall shy away. Let our way of life become their antithesis entire.

Not a very likely solution. Killing invites only more killing. As is evident the country is running out of finances for these basically meaningless conflicts. More killing means only more hatred. Wen the us left Vietnam nothing totally disastrous happened. It's about time to leave.

Not to mention, speaking as an Australian, you Americans always like using our soldiers to kill for you, just as the British Empire before you made us do. One more dead Digger is one less dead American soldier. Also you flex your imperial muscles financially and culturally in every conceivable way over us, as you have done since you arrived in World War II, in the process, you have annihilated our traditional culture to such a degree that my generation has no idea of how we were, and many of my kin are nothing but barbarians - something I despise your evil empire for doing to us!!

Sure, if you filthy Americans hadn't "saved" us to enslave us as vassals, we Australians would have been exterminated by the Japanese, I am quite aware of that. But, we would have retained our honour and identity to the end!

You Americans robbed us Australians of a potential to grow our own culture; see the barbaric creatures the majority of us are as tourists in your nation and others?

You made us that way!

Yeah, American Empire! Wooooo! We aren't even trying to be one, but we're being called one anyway. Awesome!! !

Typical f*****g ignorant Yank. Open your eyes, while you still have them.

Your government, regardless of being Democrat or Republican, are liars, especially to you Americans who are too unintelligent from centuries of religious brainwashing, they would be more honest if they openly established a Protestant Fundamentalist Theocracy with some kind of monarchial throne with the title of Emperor as a figurehead at least. The twisted scions of the Bush family would be probably deemed by your people to be the best to sit on that throne.

I just wish I could cover Lincoln's head with a Nazi flag - not just to desecrate that monument, but also that he would be ashamed to see what his efforts eventually led to if he were alive today. If the Founding Fathers knew of America today, they would have said, "God save King George!"

I just hope you all become slaves one day, the way you enslaved us.

My government is a wholly owned subsidiary of the military-industrial complex. Yes. But don't paint with such wide brush strokes. Not all of us are blind to what is happening / has happened. Some of us are even disgusted by it.

Hey, why not ! !! !

Lets get this counter-revolution started ! !! !!

Forget the nazi flag crap, but American Empire, Woot yeah!

Dude, tone it down a bit. This may be PPR but most of us at least try not to make such broad attacks and assumptions, this place would be untenable otherwise.

For all the crap about America and Israel causing all so many civilian casualties, nonsense! Forget sending in ground troops to kill civilians, as it's wasteful of soldiers. Such is a job for the Air Force. Saturation bombing anyone?

Spoken like a true gentle Christian.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Considering his past submissions trolling seems unlikely.

Perhaps. But then I don't buy for a second that they genuinely believe that the wholesale, mass murder of civilians is acceptable.

If it walks like a duck...

... it was shagging like a tiger all night?

How did you guess?!?
