    If I understood him correct he is advocating single government. When all the peaceful solutions ran out, he took the super power to help him. Now if you make one world, you leave, you fail.

    Somalia and Lebanon were not declared as wars, therefor it can not count as a war that was lost, neither were the invasions of Quebec or any conflict we fought trying to gain Canadian land.
    Even though its probably not worth it, im an just providing a scenario.

    Instead make corrections in a further post "what I meant to say" or "on further reflection" otherwise it gets hopelessly confusing for other members.
    Sorry about that, I tried to fix it before anyone quoted it, it will not happen again.

    You're stretching. Men died on the field trying to take and defend strategic cities. Whatever point you're trying to make does not change the fact that the US did not and would not fight to the end in her own backyard. How would they do in anther's backyard.

    Somalia and Lebanon were not in the U.S. backyard. And it seems we have done pretty well in others backyards, WW1 and WW2, the gulf war, all were successful wars that were not fought in our back yard. The civil war and the Spanish American wars both showed that the U.S. can indeed fight in its own back yard, however i do not see how wars fought over a 100 years ago will effect how the united states will fight in the future. And I am assuming that in my scenario the u.s. would not be alone.

    I would not call the Kuwait War all that successful if you had to fight another 2 wars after that.

    The civil war is not in your backyard. It was in your house.

    Goes to show that political will is not there for the unimportant fights near home, it definitely will not be there for the unimportant fights away from home. Libya comes to mind.

    China, Russia, Iran, North Korea will fight. They may not win but they will fight. The question is would the US fight for this NWO at the price of expensive oil and 12 inch TVs that costs a $10,000.

    Marx, I seriously don't see the need why push this idea of yours so hard.

    At first you represented it as a noble idea, with no wars, better economy...

    Look where are you now. Next thing you will argue it will be a good thing to suffer 100 years from that wars just to get better later.

    Doc, every idea needs to evolve until it reaches its natural conclusion. Most of us here know that a NWO is not gonna work, and I've got the feeling that Marx knows it too, but he's gonna have to figure it out for himself. Give him time, he seems like a smart kid...

    The ebb and flow of this thread is a bit baffling.

    Is the premise now that the U.S. is going to say to the world "You will join our NWO come hell or high water, meaning we will jam it down your throats by military force?"

    Ignoring for the moment any benefits such an order might proffer to the participants; even pretending for a moment that the will to do such a thing existed in the U.S. and the public, government, and military were all on board, it physically is impossible to execute.

    Even the threat of nuclear annihilation isn't going to bring everybody to the table. And Iraq and Afghanistan have demonstrated how difficult (if not impossible) it is to simultaneously conquer a country, spare civilians, and rebuild.

    The normal timeline is more like
    - Obliteration
    - Occupation
    - Reconstruction

    In that order. And there isn't 1% of the assets available to execute even a portion of this world-wide.

    I would still rather it come peacefully, however all of the discussion seems to lead to one thing, the use of violence to achieve my goal. The OOE said it him self, who ever is the toughest gets their own way, hell even teddy Roosevelt said it, "big stick", use violence and threats to achieve our goal. Its not like I want to use violence to accomplish world unity, however based on every thing I have read so far, death and destruction is the only way to achieve my goal.
    thanks

    Then, let me ask you this. Why do you want to unite the war through war instead of living seperately peacefully?

    Because in truth when you look around do you see peace? The united states and russia have to create programs to reduce the number of nuclear weapons each one has because they do not trust each other to not use them. I do not call that peace.
    Look at places like the Congo and Rwanda where people are killed every day in drug wars, women are raped and then left to care for the children that result. I do not consider that peace.
    The united states and mexico border, hundreds of illegal immigrants are coming in to the country where they then become the victims of hate crimes just because in their country they could not feed their families. I do not consider that peace.

    And I think you read my post wrong, I do NOT want to unite the world through war.

    It is peace. We have not used those weapons.

    It is peace to us. They're too damned scare to do it to us.

    Hold on one freaking second. While there is a problem with the American-Mexican border, the majority of Mexicans wants to stay in Mexico. And whether you like it or not, there is peace between Mexico and the United States. And Mexicans are feeding Mexicans. Hell, we're buying food from Mexico. You need to a lot more before jumping on sterotypes. THERE IS NO FAMINE IN MEXICO.

    It may be peace to us, however it is not a global peace. In order to live separately and peacefully like you said, then wouldn't all places in the world have to be peaceful? Uniting the world to create peace in places that do not have it, is a hell of alot better than just staying happy here in our own countries that do have peace. What happens when the chaos in the Congo and Rwanda spreads into Europe? What happens when we can no longer fight to defend our selves from the chaos because it has spread across most of the world before we could do anything about it. Or are you just suggesting that we sit back and watch the chaos while it is not affecting our selves or our friends? Not to be disrespectful, but thats abit selfish.
