The fourth largest country in world, a leader in oil production, and the richest most powerful country on earth.

Founded by thirteen colonies of Great Britain located along the Atlantic seaboard. Proclaiming themselves "states," they issued the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The rebellious states defeated Britain in the American Revolutionary War, the first successful colonial war of independence.

A leader in scientific research and technological innovation, it developed nuclear weapons, ushering in the atomic age. Its status as a SuperPower has meant it has been at war with someone somewhere since the 1950s (North Korea, Vietnam, China, Cuba, Yugoslav, Gulf, Afghanistan, Iraq).

It is the dominant economic, political, military, and cultural force in the world.

"In God We Trust", the official motto, where the power of god has been placed into the hands of leaders, its political system has proven to be corrupt and something that some parts of the world now look at with a watchful, un-trusted eye.

I'm not a big fan but hope to eventually cover as much of this land as I can, but only when its politics reflect one that I can feel good about supporting, and not one which supports wars for its economic well being or self interests.

Its sad when a government uses its own people as victims in order to follow an agenda which will only benefit those in leadership. It is the friendly American citizens who are the victims of their government, much in the same way Sadamm made victims of his own people.

The Untied States will only change with a leadership that demonstrates to the world that it focuses on things that matter to mankind, and not self interests or gains of its leaders (see Bush Administration below).

Why should one nation decide the fate of others? Why can't nations have the same technology to defend themselves? The only nation to use a weapon of mass destruction was the United States in Hiroshima Japan.

The Bush Administration lasted 8 years. With a poor leadership and political turmoil, the United States lost their honor, the leaders were interested in benefiting self interests, rather than those of the people.

The Bush reign was the worst event to happen in the 21st Century and the plan was sinister. George Bush destroyed and gave us reasons not to trust in the super power he destroyed, its amazing how a country that claims to be so free and just, allow so much wrong to happen with its own government, and today George Bush simply walks away from it without a trial. No one should have that much power in the world - ever!

There is evidence that suggests that the US had an agenda for the 21st century, its own manifest called the Project of the New American Century, which involves a catastrophic event, including the loss of life of its own citizens to proceed with its own agenda, the Manifest Destiny of American Empire.
