OT: American Terminator |
American Terminator
http://www.msnbc.com/news/998424.asp
CHARACTER FLAWS: The U. S. can inflict great damage while sustaining
none, and is programmed to rebuild itself, but not others. That's its
problem.
By Niall Ferguson
NEWSWEEK INTERNATIONAL
Issues 2004 — The United States is now an empire in all but name—the
first case in history of an empire in denial. That may explain why a
country which accounts for nearly a third of total world output now
has such surprising trouble getting what it wants. The last great
Anglophone empire ruled over a quarter of the world's land surface and
population, despite the fact that Britain accounted for less than a
tenth of global production. Yet the United States has spent recent
months struggling to control just two foreign countries: Afghanistan
and Iraq. If it is indeed an empire, it seems a strangely feeble one.
