Might does not make right. Just because in a one to one situation the US can topple any country or power on the face of the Earth does not automatically give the US of A, the right to do it.
Also, we may be 'sad' in your opinion, but if all of Europe was to unite and function as one large entity, and lets say the Commonwealth was to join in it too. That would pretty much make the US look like the former tallest kid in the class. And when I read things like what you put which pretty much says "America is great, the rest of the world sucks... ha ha!" it really does make me upset because that is just plain lauding it over everybody else.
So, for now, you are the biggest. But one day, maybe, you will be the average height, and there will be others towering over you. You may be the only superpower in the world, but you are not invincible nor unstoppable. The majority of Americans I like and respect, but there are always ones like you who are so wrapped up in stars and stripes you cannot see beyond your own arrogance. At the end of the day a country when you break it down to its most simple form, is little more than the ground under your feet.
America was the one who put Saddam there in the first place the same Saddam that held his teacher hostage with a handgun at age 10, therefore, 3Jane has a valid point. Everybody makes mistakes SUBMAN, even the United States. Heaven only knows Europe had made plenty, and will continue to make plenty, you seem to be lashing out because you can't seem to grasp that maybe America made a mistake putting Saddam there so are insinuating that everybody else, European that is, is sad.
