one day if the US gets a little more power over the rest of the world and some technological advances the US could actually become and empire and use its influence to in effect rule the world.....or.....maybe one day the superpowers of the world will decide to band together and make the entire world and all its people into an unbreakable empire...hey you may laugh now but one day it could happen.

Bush administration is following wrong policies.\nThey may not be on a crusade but all their present targets are unfortunately Muslims who are rich in natural resources but far behind in technology, hence an easy prey.\nIn the ultimate analysis/conclusion USA will never win since their stance is based on in-justice, inequality and double standards.

I think the US has brought all this on itself...i even think that the US is the biggest and most powerful terrorist of all...Nothing of all these terrorist acts today would've happened if the US hasn't started doing terrorist acts itself....\n\nThe US has killed thousands and thousands of civilians in Afghanistan...Isn't that considered terrorism?!\nIt has been a major financial base for Israel....It has supported Israel to massacre thousands of women and children and made it more powerful....Isn't that also called terrorism?!\n\nAl Quaida and all the current terrorist groups are just a very normal and logical consequence to the US's terrorist and horrific actions in Israel,Afghanistan and now Iraq!!\n\nBeing the most powerful country in the world is a huge huge responsibility and to be honest with you America is not handling it well!!\n\nAmerica should've put in mind that every action has a reaction and has it's consequences....and now because of America's actions the world together with America has to suffer it's terrorist consequences!!

Get your head out of the sand,dummy!  The US is not interested in any other country except those that mean harm to it or it's allies who the US has an obligation to protect.  If you mean other countries like Iran, N.Korea, Syria, Venezuela, I would be glad to explain each scenario, but I won't because you simply will not understand or will refuse to listen.\n\nSo, stay stuck on stupid and if you would like a better explanation, please re- phrase your question in a manner that makes it more palatable.

I feel America does not want to control territory as such.It only wants to maintain its supremacy and balance of world power.Controlling new territories is not good for the USA instead it is troublesome for them to hold on to foreign countries.

It would be very difficult for the U.S. and Israel to accept Iran having nuclear weapons. I give it less than a year because I believe common wisdom is that Iran could have nuclear capability that soon. \n\nWho will be involved?\nUs and Israel mainly, with Bush trying to put together a coalition like he did with limited success for Iraq.\n\nWill this lead the Western world into an endless war with Islam? \nI don't think so, but this is why it's so important to foster democracy in Islamic countries.\n\nHow far off is a war with Iran and Israel, and when will the global community step in and stop the Iranian "president" from dictating us and threatining us with oil?\nThe "global community" won't do anything to stop Iran, in my opinion. They're all afraid of terrorist retaliation. Look at news organizations' reaction to the rioting over the cartoons. They're all afraid to run the cartoons.\n\nIs oil worth the threat of an arms race in the middle east?\nI don't quite understand this question. Are you saying we are somehow responsible for encouraging an arms race because we want middle east oil? An arms race between who and whom?

We are in a global war on Terror. \nWe are taking action.  \n\nUnfortunately our president thought it was best to "Sell" this war piecemeal "war in Iraq, followed by war in Afghanistan" etc.\n\nHad he been more forthcoming, more people would be in support. \n\nThe truth is: we are in a global war on terror that will last decades or until every Islamic country has a stable government that can police their own fringe radicals.\n\nIt needs to be done, and it is being done.\n\nThough I'm not so sure it is being done the right way.  I'm a bit more cynical.  \n\nI say:\n\nInstall friendly dictators in every nation that poses a risk (They know how to deal with these problems) Democracy is beyond the abilities of most of the populations we're talking about.\n\nDevelop an alternative form of Energy and embargo all mid-east oil.\n\nGive Israel free reign to defend themselves as they see fit. \n\nYou'll see a mid-east that begs for our presence, our moderating effect on Israel and our $$ !

You're kidding right?  The US has lost more Int'l. crediblity than at any other time in it's history and it will take decades to repair it and it will make fighting the war on terror that much harder because foreign govts. have little if any trust in the US.  The US has become isolationists not by choice but by default (most of the rest of the world, except Israel, can't stand the US diplomatically).

The problem with the Middle Eastern conflict is that it is not a single force the American military is fighting: It is a culture, a religion. Though many people, have many opnions on the matter, here is mine. \nThis administration does believe that victory is possible, where it is completly improbable. The major factor in this, is the divisions of the area, between country, clan, and religion (Clan, as in sect of religion, family lineage, etc.), in which shows no mercy for those whom  attempt to change their traditions. The current Administration is pushing democracy upon a culture that has rejected such for over two millenia... No matter the strategy, withdrawal is the only option to cease bloodshed, yet keep a strong home defense incase of a counter-incursion.\n\nEdit: Correction, it is not the only option. As Celtic Rebel said, equip our troops bloody properly, and perhaps we can tough it out, and settle the more... radical of the lot in the sandpit over there.

HELL NO!  America is tending to interfere in other countrys matters far too much. They should realise by now that the second world war ended in 1945 with the unification of italy. The two super powers were usa and Russia. Russia got over it that times change but its just that usa is still stuck on the whole "super power of the world" thing. What happens in iraq and the middle east is their concern and they will sort it out their way usa has no right to interfere. usa has oil reserves that it can use but it wants to use the oil in the middle east that belongs to them but then kinda mysteriously got under iraq. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

The US supporst Israel for the sole and simple reason that it is a highly strategic position in the middle east and one that needs our help.  Its a case of "you sratch my back and I scratch yours" right?  Yes we did in fact embargo S. Africa, however, S. Africa is a highly divided nation whose sides are more than willing to accept help from anyone (and believe me, America has its hand there too).  S. Africa offers no political or military advantage.  What America does there is purely arbitrary.  They have some diamonds and a little oil, but so does Russia.  So, that's why.  Political science is kinda my thing

Actually in my opinion.. It will be Israel that cripples Iran and it's "nuclear research".. The jews will not wait around for any longer than six months to see what happens with the UN sanctions..\n\nThe USA will be attacking Syria to destroy the headquarters of Hamas and Al-Quaeda inside of Damasacus after Iran is neutralized and Iraq is under the control of the Iraqi security forces...

hahahaa... I don't think we have a foreign policy... we're just sending our jobs to Central/South America and Asia, while blowing up the middle east... and ignoring anything Europe says \n\nMaybe that's quite a complex foreign policy to Bush, but it doen't cut the mustard with me...
