Isis brings its war to Lebanon - and it could be key to a masterplan

41. Success = Smart. And it ain't all about 'Murika, unless we made China take over Tibet, etc.

The American Exceptional Evil mantra is not cutting it for some of us anymore. It seems egotistical to believe that we rule the world and control all these things. It's like not letting go of our position in the world.

And disrespectful to other peoples in the world. Empires that lasted longer than America have come and gone, and will be again. They don't need our help to implement their own visions of the future.

The idea that American is omnipotent from the left is as ridiculous as it is from the right. People are gonna do what they're gonna do, they don't need us to teach them how. That's a false sense of superiority when we do that.

The world has done just fine without us in the business of theft, torture, slaughter, ecocide and genocide long before we came on the scene. And the world will keep doing after we are a footmark in history.
