American Imperialist

Yep, I believe that the USA as of today should assume the moral imperative of liberating every oppressed people on the planet. We did it in Iraq, and now should do it everywhere people need a hefty dose of liberation.

Lets start with Cuba. Celebrities and leftists aside, the nation needs its freedom. A mere 90 miles away from the US we could roll in the Marines and take it over quickly. The highlands Castro used back in the day would prove no problem for our modern armed forces.

Then there is Africa. Where do we start? Congo, Sudan, and Libya are the obvious ones. But Morroco has its problems too with the monarchy and the stomping of dissent. So that's four, and I'm sure applying our lens of discretion to Zimbabwe would rid the world of Mugabe. While we are at it, since the Ivory Coast wants us in, lets go and kick out the French and their commercial cocoa interests.

The whole Middle East should be conquered. Look up Fascism in the dictionary and you can fit in any Middle Eastern nation that isn't a monarchy. And the monarchies are all rather harsh and share with their fascist neighbors the traditional Arab sense of apartheid. Israel avoids the textbook definition of fascism, but does fit squarely into the apartheid category.

Then we hit Chechnya. The people want freedom from Russia and in its place want Sharia. Well, lets just conquer them too. And to keep Russia off the back of Chechnya, lets go kick some Russian butt. I want American tanks in Moscow!

In Asia we could have freed South Korea from fascism, but they seem to have done it all by themselves. That still leaves North Korea, who is starving their own people. And Taiwan which is a triad-ridden fascist state. Malaysia is an Islamic state, so they get conquered too. Indonesia has Bali, which as a vacation spot needs to be ours. Japan's constitution promotes equality of gender and race, but anyone who has been a woman or Korean in Japan will tell you that in 2003 Japan the constitution is ignored in such matters.

There, a taste of nations we need to conquer and liberate. We've got the best equipment, the most training, and a volunteer army will to die to accomplish the mission. We can ignore the UN and still get 50 nations to back us up. What are we waiting for? The people of the world need our aid!We can free them, and then help them redevelop their nation using their own resources? Again, what are we waiting for?

And as an Empire, we can feel confident in the duration of our majesty, regardless of what naysayers will tell you. Compared to the Romans, English, and even the Mongols, our stay as world power has been very brief. Using history as our model, we'll be dead and dust before the American Empire begins to truly fall.

Am I joking?

Is this just a sarcastic little post?

I don't know.

You tell me.
