Empire Next
You know what happen to the Roman Empire, is the US next?
Its either them or us, which is it to the Iraq so called war?
The reason or reasons that Rome deteriorated would take a whole book to describe. I'm not going to do that here or now.
If the reasons were studied one by one, you would see that none of them apply to America.
The Golden Horde was the largest, one continuous land mass empire that ever existed. It collapsed simply because its leader died.
The British Empire was the largest overall empire the world has ever known. England simply gave freedom to nations as they showed the ability to govern themselves,
France restored freedom to many of its colonies. America gave up the Philippines and Cuba peacefully.
You seem to be suggesting that if we don't destroy the Muslims, they will destroy us. You can be sure that won't happen. America wants no part of the Near East. We're in no way trying to expand.
If you think the Muslims have a chance to destroy America, I don't know how you could come up with that idea. The Muslims are fifteen hundred years back in their thinking. Everything they have is from, or copied from the West. They have real big mouths, but not much more.
