[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i apologize for nitpicking, but isn't the PP who is limiting to the last 75 years the same one who said "where else in the 10,000 years of recorded civilizations ..."?  Actually, perhaps the difference between 75 and 10,000 is more than a nit.  BTW, what recorded civilizations go back 10,000 years???

This is just rhetorical, since the other PP was actually limiting to the past century anyway, so don't feel a need to respond.  The 10,000 exaggeration did not bother me until the fuss over the 75.[/quote]

ugh.  try to follow along dimwit. 10,000 years of history was an exaggeration.  I'm happy to limit it to 3,000.  Is that better?  Over all of recorded history, when one country had hegemonic power (even regionally), they have always been not shy about exercising that power in expanding, conquering and oppressing others.  The examples are countless.  Roman, Greek, Persian, French, British, Mongols, Russian, Saxons, Mayans, Aztec, Incans, etc etc etc.  The USA has been in that category for say the last 75 years, that was the point.  We did not invade Canada in 1952, we invaded Canada in 1812.[/quote]
