America could have pushed the Soviets all the way back to Moscow if we had wanted to after WWII. We could have created a fully free Europe 50 years earlier, but we keep our commitments to our allies even though they are communist murders!! Our main protagonists during WWII, Germany and Japan, are economic powerhouses because of American COMPASSION & GENEROSITY!!!! America did not gas or combust millions of Germans as they did the Jews!!! America did not RAPE & TORTURE thousands of Japanese as they did Americans and Chinese and other Asian peoples!! We GENEROUSLY rebuilt their countries, helped them establish democratic republics and welcomed them into a partnership with the FREE world and then went about minding our own business!!
America does not conquer nations! America is not imperialistic!!! We are the greatest nation the earth has ever seen! We give more aid to others than all other nations combined! When Islam, France, Germany, Spain, Britain, Portugal, the Catholic Church, China, Japan, Russia, Turks, Mongols, Incas and Aztecs all had their imperialistic periods they did nothing but enslave those under their control. When America defeats an enemy their life expectancy goes up, child mortality goes down, standard of living goes up, freedoms increase, women get equal rights, children get educated. All we do is FORCE DEMOCRACY on them!!! The shame of it all!!! I hope GOD forgives up for our sins!!
As far as the Old Testament is concerned, NO ONE lives by that form of conduct any longer EXCEPT Islamic Extremists!!! The CIVILIZED countries of this world promote freedom, democratic republic forms of government, and open economic markets, that is all!!
Sure there are occasional abuses, but free, open societies provide a means for redress of grievances, change, improvement and the rectifying of abuses. This has not occurred in the past with the worlds REAL imperialistic governments and will not happen under the New Islamic World order either!
