Pax America

In ancient history, Pax Romana was the "Roman Peace" that is the peace enforced on the states (read conquered territories) of the Roman Empire. The period was characterized by many negative factors, not the least of which was the constant wars that Rome fought against her neighbors.

Today we have a new empire, the American empire that seeks to have peace by subjugating anyone and everyone who would dare to resist the projection of American power wherever it pleases around the globe. Like a giant schizophrenic beast, our politicians and other public servants have proven all too eager to send in the Marines, deploy the troops, launch the cruise missiles and generally let loose the dogs of war on anyone and everyone who dares to cross swords with us. How dare these infidel nations oppose our multicultural superiority, have they no respect for their betters?

This global projection of power is of course totally UN-Constitutional, not to mention that it is costly, wasteful and has earned us a slate of enemies throughout the world. In fact, one can hardly travel anywhere in the world without finding a raft of anti-American sentiment expressing itself in many myriad forms, many of them violent. Could there possibly be a reason for this anti-American hatred other than the patently dishonest and vacuously ignorant statement "they hate freedom" uttered by our senior public servant Georgus Bushtavius II?
