It's not about jealousy noct. If you look at things like the monroe act and stuff we did in south america then you will see why other countries hate us. The muslims are still mad over the whole crusades thing. We did sack jerusalem and kill everyone except for the muslim soldiers. oOo:

Global hatred against the current German government for the Nazis?

Global hatred against the French for Napolean?

Global hatred against Mongolia for the Mongolian Empire?

Global hatred against Rome or Italy for the Roman Empire?

How can you possibly even tie the Crusades to America. Thank the French and the Brits for that.

There are few nations in this world - I would venture to say not a single one - which have never been involved in some sort of shady activity or another. Being the most powerful and visible nation in the world, it is only obvious that our exploits would be the most well-known.

I could dig up the hundreds or even thousands of years of history on dozens of countries and find a hundred reasons each to say I hate them, rather than just admit jealousy.

I'm a cultured person. In fact, I probably enjoy foreign culture more than I enjoy the culture of my own country. I wish the citizens of my country were as intelligent as the citizens of some other countries. All this, however, does not change the fact that the majority of hatred for America comes from the patriotic version of penis envy. Unless you're a Muslim, in which case you've had your hatred for us beaten into you because the you started a war in Medieval times and ended up getting slaughtered. And yes, Muslim raiders ransacking villages, slaughtering the men, raping the women and children and enslaving any who were spared, prompted the Crusades.

So, in closing, my country has a bigger dick. Deal with it.

Eames did you forget to type something or did Noctis magically say exactly what you were about to say...again??

Bunny, about teh Vietnam thing, we never actually lost a single battle in the war.
I would say that we "lost the peace", that is we managed to piss off more people than we killed enemies. Mostly piss-poor handling from the top levels of government down to top level military command.

Our guys fought like hell and killed more NVA and VC than they killed of our guys; we just ended up making more enemies in the process due to bad judgement from the folks as the top; which is typical of all wars, just not all bad decisions lead to ultimate defeat, or the other guy makes more mistakes (like Hitler)

Thats right, we kicked the shit out of the NVA, VietCong and Vietminh during Tet and whenever they openly engaged our troops in combat. Also, our LRRPs, SOGs and tribal allies won nearly every engagement they were in. We were very successful but the fact that the military dicked around for a decade led to all the protests and our withdrawl from Vietnam.

wow I truly see a parallel with our time with ancient times.

Soviet Union or Nazi Germany = Carthage

Britain = Greece (Alot of Rome's culture was based on Greek) Also note Britain controlled 1/4 of the world. Greece created an empire that nearly took all over the known world.

USA= Rome

Middle-East = Gauls and Celtics and Goths

Empires come and fall. They embody the same spirit through different bodies.
I think America within this half-century and the next century will be at its height of its power. Afterwards history will repeat itself.
