#1 The shiites are so stoopid and clanish, they probably wont even care. All they seem to want to do is kill each other and steal from their own country.

#4 ...For people who are so obsessed with history, these clods (the Sunni) don't seem to remember what happened when a King of Spain invited the Moors in to help him win a civil war. The Moors stayed for a few centuries, IIRC.

#5 Why does the majority deny the following? Roman imperialists required decades to establish Pax Romana; America could do create Pax Americana at the blink of an eye. Governments could be toppled; entire armies can be destroyed; captive peoples could be forced to kill America's enemies, without a US citizen being placed in jeopardy; hostile immigrants with alien values, could be deported at whim; proliferation concerns would end with the push of a button; those states who killed Americans or destroyed US property, could be forced to pay tribute without any input into payment rates; all energy supply concerns could be eliminated; any country could be occupied in a way that locals would fear operating against US troops, etc ad nausem.

If the US does not project power, then the enemy will. Anyone who says US options are limited, is either a brainwashed vomit spewer or a fanatic appeaser.

#7 Establishing the Pax Romana took a couple of centuries, I thought. Just subduing Carthage took a generation, no?

#9 trailing wife:

Actually Roman history is divided into the Republic and Imperial history. Pax Romana was an early Imperial phenomenon, however in the big picture you are correct.

Appeasers on Iraq would promote toppling Hussein through UN diplomacy. Hopefully the appeasers have not won the day on Iran. We owe something to future generations: an Ayatollah ICBM threat to the US Homeland will only be the result of a refusal to project existing power.

#11 IMO "Pax Americana" became official the day NIXON declared America, AND ONLY AMERICA, the ONLY DE FACTO, TRUE SUPERPOWER IN THE WORLD, by any measure or -ism. Iff this article is correct or mostly correct, then Radical Iran is responsible for sectarian attacks on fellow Shias, and regardless of the pro-Iran = anti-Iran ideo of the victims. For Moud's sake, methinks there had better be an appearance of the Imam/Mahdi NLT end of this Spring equinox.
