America has done alot of good. That however doesn't justify the bad, nor does it mean the good people of America overlook the bad, or accept tyrants for leaders.

This man is brilliant. How can the NeoCon Ratbastards continue in a strategy that less than <28% of our people are ignorant enough to support? They all can't be Haliburton stockholders.

OK, I won't go nearly that far.

Because the majority of the americans are like MelJack65, the USA deserves to collapse. And if it happens, there won't be much sorrow in the rest of the world

MelJack: You oversimplify Johnson's work into a binary good/bad argument, just like George Bush sees the world. You disregard/choose not to engage Johnson's nuanced argument. You obviously like things black and white. George Bush suits you. He's a simpleton.

No, his life's work is to keep in check the imperial hubris and ambitions that have gripped America today.
