Tonight's speech and where we as a nation will go |
|
Edited on Thu Sep-13-07 10:50 PM by nadinbrzezinski
As a nation. It does not matter anymore whether you believe this is a dmeocracy or dictartorship This is an empire and we will pull out of Iraq. mark my words The fall of the American Empire will be sudden, will be surprising, but it will happen And I can also predict the break up of the country into anywhere from three to five successor states The USSR, that is prologue to our future and for the same reasons as it happened to them. This is what George and his coenablers, at all levels, have done
The other prologue to the future is ROME
Regardless, the folks for whom history does not matter... they have condemned this nation to the dustbin of history.
And we have enabled it, at multiple levels
Oh well, the experiment is over

2. I've thought the comparison with the USSR is more apt than that of Nazi Germany. |

5. The problem is that some aspects fit Nazi Germany |
|
almost to a T
but the oeverextension of the military, fit Rome, the Briths, the Netherlands and Spain to a T, as well as the USSR
But this reminds me of.... Afghanistan to a point

repeating mistakes and not learning from their errors - Not history repeating itself. Just the same mistakes made over and over and over again. Just my opinion.
