Entry: America: An Empire? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/america_an_empire#12804 Post contents: Americans will fail at empire because they are not the godlike supermen -Higdon From the first recorded wars, unification of mesopotamia [currently Iraq and led then by Sargo], which was building of empire, thru military conquest, have failed. Nearly 5000 years of failed empire building have gone by. These same men attempted to build towers to heaven,like Babel, which fell, to the heavens, in quest to be 'Godlike' men. God, seeing what the people were able to accomplish while they remained unified, scattered them. Unification, thru military conquest, empire, God knew, would lead to eternal war. Unification, thru war, no matter how good the intent, can never lead to peace. Democracy, no matter how great we think it is, cannot ever spread thru military conquest, when it does it fails. I, for this reason, agree with Kurts opinion. Sent at: 2009 01 07
