the definition of a world war is one spanning more than one continent and containing more than two armies. Even though official war has yet to been declared on Libya military action has taken place by the west yesterday when Frenchies shot down Libyan jets.

So now we are in the mid east and North Africa, if we declare war is it officially ww3?

No.


Also, that's not the definition of a world war.

hmmm Websters says it involves all or the principle nations of the world

although I am sure it has changed I think Nato contains almost all of the principle nations, and China has expressed interest in the Libya no Fly zone

maybe I am just a dreamer, can't a boy hope for global conflict to spurn rapid changes, life is too boring working and buying shit.

French planes just opened fire on Lybian military vehicles

Lybia has been scrabling its MiGs from Tripoli

The French are actually fighting and are going to win

We're actually going to have a 21st century dogfight. Doubt it will last very long though the MiGs don'st stand a chance against Rafales.

Such a tired argument. How much of the world have you seen? I don't want to pull that card, but, America is an amazing land of opportunity, FOR ALL PEOPLE, especially when compared to the vast majority of this shitty earth. Sometimes it is brutal, sometimes it is violent, sometimes it is ruthless, but this is what makes Americans American. America should always be a land of opportunity, but it should never be a land of peace, harmony, and ease.

not if you were Irish, German, Black, Polish, Jewish, poor, a woman, a socialist, an anarchist, a union man, a catholic, , Native American, an atheist...

this country was imperialistic before 1913 too, Spanish American war, multiple occupations of Caribbean nations, the overthrow of Nicaragua (talking about the first one), the Philippine-American war.

Hell, I consider what they did to the West in wiping out the Indians to be imperialism as well

America has gone through a lot in its very small time on this planet. Ultimately, greed has overshadowed a number of beliefs our founding fathers upheld, and we are rapidly changing as a nation to blend in with what is acceptable by the powers that be.
Boozegood is/was in the military, so I can understand and agree with his point of view; most of my family was in the military at some point. Outside of what freedoms we do have, I tend to philosophize a bit much and try to make sense of the big picture.
We are indeed a representation of freedom. We always have been. When comparing America's (fuck it - the West's) freedoms to that of the Middle East, China, Indonesia, etc., we overwhelmingly have more freedoms than those countries. Communist governments usually keep a close eye on what their civilians are allowed to do, and Theocratic governments are idiotic and outdated. America is the land of the free...

... or is it? In almost every regard it is, but we are slowly losing major freedoms we SHOULD have. The Patriot Act IMHO is the most Anti-American thing to be upheld in our short history. I've been losing faith in a number of things in our government as of late. Most of it started after 9/11. I'm sincerely convinced that there are a certain number of players working behind the scenes that have more power and say than our own president. (no need to say who, you know who it is) The world is one giant Risk board, and we aren't the players.

Like in 1953's Iranian coup d'état (but on a much larger scale), I think these revolts in the Middle East are a much needed endeavor for their citizens to endure. Suffice to say, I would not doubt at all if we've been dropping leaflets and organizing it from within. It's really smart if you think about it. Instead of taking over a country by direct force, you take over the mind of its citizens and have it implode. Then you swoop in and reap benefits. We've done this in South America as well. It's nothing new.. it's modern day tactics of spreading our influence on the world.

Good post and do not get me wrong, I know America is FAR from perfect. I have to go run some errands, but I guess to sum it up I can use an example: People will often ask why I get so emotional about the flag, or why when I see images of people desecrating it I tear up and get visibly upset. "It's just a symbol" and the like.
Well, to me that flag symbolizes what America really is; what it was and what it can be. Never will the stars and stripes symbolize fickle things like government or economy, it symbolizes America; both it's natural beauty and it's ideals. So, I guess that can sum-up a bit of my view on America and why I am a Patriot. The IDEA of America.

Ünited Stätes Toughens Image With Umlauts

WASHINGTON, DC—In a move designed to make the United States seem more "bad-assed and scary in a quasi-heavy-metal manner," Congress officially changed the nation's name to the Ünited Stätes of Ämerica Monday. "Much like Mötley Crüe and Motörhead, the Ünited Stätes is not to be messed with," said Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK). An upcoming redesign of the Ämerican flag will feature the new name in burnished silver wrought in a jagged, gothic font and bolted to a black background. A new national anthem is also in the works by composer Glenn Danzig, tentatively titled "Howl Of The She-Demon."

Problem is, the "idea of America" is prone to as many interpretations as, say, the "meaning of the Bible"... Unfortunately, the dominant modern interpretations have far less to do with Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and Abe Lincoln than they do with J.P. Morgan, Allen Dulles, Zbig Brzezinski and Newt Gingrich. War = "peace", wage slavery under cartel capitalism with no social safety net = "liberty", and extortion = "diplomacy".

How valid is the ideal of Jeffersonian democracy when it's been turned into a 24-hour cable reality show??

I love the ideals that once represented America, but I'm not sure they live here anymore.

Silly Arab League! Did you really think you could ask us for a no-fly zone and NOT get a war of conquest?!?!
