Reply #2: Thre is a price we pay for empire.

[Ozymanithrax]

Empire brings up the comfortable life style we all enjoy, but that ocmes at a cost. When we assert our will on other countires, it creates ill will in those countries.

The US should divest itself of empire.

But we should recognize that another country will rise to take our place, exert its will on other countires, perhaps our own, and create ill will. That is part of the human condition.
