Yes, because we'd all be Germans. :)
-
Much better i reckon. Love the avatar by the way

To paraphrase the old anti-gun-control bromide "Gung-Ho Americans don't kill people, insulated political leaders who suffer no consequences kill people" (by sending Gung-Ho Americans to do their dirty work) Unfortunately, far too many of our political class subscribe to the Ledeen Doctrine (actually written by Jonah Goldberg but attributed to Ledeen) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ledeen#Quotations To wit: "Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business"

No, some other nation would fill the void. You would either have China, Russia, Japan, Germany or the UK dominating the planet as much as the US does now.
-
There are plenty of other people who would rank higher on The List of Dangerous Types of People, I think. But sure, I guess...
-
Yes.
-
No Clint Eastwood? No Chuck Norris? No John McCain...eh, McClane? You CAN'T be serious! -
-
No, there are worse things to worry about. Spreading hate is not going to help in any way.
-
Nothing personal, but you'd be speaking german if there hadn't been Americans in the world.
-
thats like so racist.
-
The world would definitely be a safer place without gung-ho politicians of any nationality.
-
The world would be a better place without ANY human beings at all
-
Nope.
-
not all americans are bad... I'm american and i would never harm a fly.
-
Gung-ho means enthusiastic and loyal. I don't know if taking that away would make the world a safer place. :
-
Possibly. But then, the life of a slave is quite safe. You are assured food, clothing, and shelter. You merely cannot decide your own destiny. Is that really what you want?
-
uh... wtf... comradery and loyalty (with public displays of) doesn't make this world an "unsafe place". Evil people with demented minds, no matter what origin, are the people who make this world unsafe. Everybody else is trying to live their lives out
-
No, I'd look toward Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Russia(recently anyway). I know I've missed many others. France really isn't an issue....bunch of wimps.
-
The fact is that America is the most powerful nation on Earth, as an Australian i sure am glad they entered WW2, this world is based on power and i'm sure it could be in worse hands, it's too easy just to bash America for thier part in world order, but i think it would be a worse place without them.
-
No, it wouldn't. Like or hate 'em the U.S. has done a lot of good in the world, probably more than any other country. Sometimes you've gotta kick some ass, and sometimes that goes wrong. We can't always know how things are going to turn out. It's not gung-ho americans that are the problem... it's how they're directed.

Actually I would like to see us, disconnect from all the worlds affairs for about the next 7 years, I figure most of the dumb assess in the world out there need another round of ethnic cleanings, political assassinations,increased starvations, famine etc ... then maybe we could send all the dumb asses that came here over the last 150 years back to where ever the hell they came from and stop involving us in their political problems and stop using our country as the dumping grounds for all there refugee's We did not create the worlds problems but you the world sure as hell keeps bringing them to our door to fix so go home and fix your own problems and we will take care of our own ... with nothing you came and with nothing you leave one way or the other ... The theme song of the rest of the world has for far to long been "Let all rape the Americas let them save our ass " personally I think we have had enough.. ~Nemo~
