Spot on.
Let me ask ya'll this*:

If "America: License to Kill" is a fact,

and hey, count me as the first Yank in line to say Li'lG's observation looks accurate to me too

who gives that 'license'? And who, then, can revoke that license, and why hasn't it been done?

The US is one of more than 193 nations on earth. 300 Million out of 7 Billion people.

I repeat Mister Ellis' question:

Why do we believe it?
What hobbles the rest of the world, or even just the western world... what prevents that world from stopping such a horrible evil's continuing to have its way?

Complacency? Fear of retribution?

I mean even the radical Islamic 'community' has found the wherewithall to mount a formidable opposition to america's alleged hegemony/disregard for cultural and (Islamic) legal sensitivities.

Anything else seems to this observer to fall flat as annoying but ineffectual sniping from the flanks. Self-important screeds of an impotently frustrated wanna-be powerbroker.
