Would another contry be justified attacking the US?

I don't know Jim. Why would the Iraqis think it is not their country? They are writing the constitution; they are doing the electing of Iraqis; in increasing numbers, they are the ones getting killed in the fight for freedom. I don't think they think it is our country.

 

The major difference between us and Iraq, as I see it, that makes us a free society and them a fear society, is that I can say just about anything I want against my government and elected officials and not end up in prison, tortured or murdered. The same could certainly not be said about Iraq under Saddam. The other major difference is that we elect our government in free elections.

To those who say, "who cares about the suffering of the rest of the world. Saddam was not a security threat to the rest of the world, let alone to us", I will respond with the words of Natan Sharansky when quoting his good friend Andrei Sakharov:

Theoretically which other country could attack America and win?

The only way would be complete destruction with Nukes, Russia may have been in a position to do that at one stage but it looks a little less likely these days.

North Korea are really the only other option, they are Nuclear equipped and there leader seems like a dictator bent on getting his way.

Yet I did note that prior to the Iraq war U.S president George W Bush said that he had the capacity to fight Iraq, Afganistan and North Korea at the same time, so it would be a likely assumption that he is not to worried about North Korea.

 

Unfortunately, the US is being invaded but not overtly attacked. Our melting pot society and the idea of assimilation is under siege, however, by thousands of illegal aliens pouring across our borders every day - thus, rather than "fixing" the problem with that, our states, federal government, and businesses now have signs that read in English and Spanish so the invaders don't have to learn to read and write English and don't feel obligued to assimilate into our culture. Not only that, states like Tennessee even give illegal aliens driver's licenses. I haven't seen any speed limit or Interstate signs in Spanish yet, so I do wonder how they know what the speed limit is and what route they are on and what direction they are driving. But, to answer the OP, no - there is no justification for invading us. Now that Mexico has a super Wal-Mart.

 

The USofA only attacks countries that it thinks it can beat and has assets worth fighting for. There isn't currently any country which can diplomatically and militarially declare war on the USofA and win.

 

"I want everyone especially white America (The Majority) to realise that in 1976-78 they had to Police Escort Black and Hispanic Children to school in Boston, because the white parents did not want there children schooling with Ethnic children."

And how is the Boston Public School System doing in '04? Is it still 90% white? Do the Boston public school teachers send their kids to Boston public schools?

Seattle voluntarially deseged around '68 and went from 100,000 kids to 50,000 kids, 90% white to 40% white, and half the public school teachers send their kids to private schools.

 

And what is WRONG with parents deciding for themselves (and not big government) where and with whom they can and should send their children to school? It is called.....liberty. It is what a man named George Washington fought for. It is a shame most Americans are now Socialists.

 

Maybe, but The Mouse Might Roar ....

I heard that Nepal has been struck in the recent past and will be struck in the near future by a string of natural disasters brought on by global warming. Maybe they would like to attack the US (and a lot of other countries as well) to retalliate. My own country might even team up with them if half of the countryside ends up disappearing under the waves.

Than there are all those countries whose own enchanting Christmas traditions are being stamped out by the American Satan Claus...

 

For starters, how is Santa Claus our fault? We don't make other countries decorate with Santa Claus or anything. You do it by choice.

Perhaps Nepal and the Netherlands should attack India or China. They are the largest polluters in the world. I don't see how that is America's fault either.

 

"For starters, how is Santa Claus our fault?"

You guys twisted him untill he was a pathetic caricature of himself and then flooded the world with propaganda about him. That's why.


"Perhaps Nepal and the Netherlands should attack India or China."
"
The USA is apparently the planet's greatest global warming polluter (assuming global warming is a real manmade phenomenon), but India and China are close enough behind that we better attack them as well, good thinking on your part James. Time to build up the armies of that Dutch-Nepalese coalition.

 

Larry,

I didn't mean that they would think it's our country. I meant that each faction will claim that it's theirs to the exclusion of the others.

 

I see ... Isn't that why there is such a push to get all the factions in on the constitution and election? I think all but one (the sunnis??) are in together.

 

You're right. He should have remained in the original genre of Sinterklass (with Black Pete, his trusty sidekick). Or better yet, how's about Father Christmas?

"what is the average opinion of the US where you live?"
"
Not to bad actually. Lots of people overhere think that many citizens of the US are somewhat foolish. But on the whole the view is positive. The view of the current POTUS is less flattering...
