Subject: RE: BS: Giuliani: Israel Should Join NATO
Oh? Well, I've lived among bigots who had a phobia regarding socialism, communism, and Islam, among other things, Teribus...and an awful lot of them were in the USA. Maybe I'm reacting to someone else's bigotry...

I always find time to denigrate the USA, Teribus, because it is the most arrogant, aggressive, and overburdening major power on the face of the Earth at this juncture in history...because I lived there for 10 years and saw the grand illusions of America firsthand...and I have not forgotten it.

If it were 1935, I'd be finding time to denigrate the Nazis instead...for similar excesses of hubris and delusions of grandeur.

It it were 1888, I'd be finding time to denigrate the self-satisfied pomp and smugness of the British Empire instead, again for similar reasons.

If it were 3 BC, I'd be finding time to denigrate the Romans for the same.

Got it? The USA just happens to be the most grandiose, bellicose, and irresponsible major power on the face of the Earth at this juncture in history. I'm sure that will change in time.

But you and I may be gone before it does. Yes, probably....

Anyway, I promise you that when I reincarnate in some future era when the USA is no longer the biggest bully in the World that I will reserve special criticism for China instead...or whoever else it is who happens to step up to the plate at that point.
