Default Poll: Should the United States be abolished?

The supremely critical and high quality political thinking in this
group has led me to the question of whether the U.S. should be
abolished as a nation-state and be taken over by some world body such
as that perennially wise and August body--the U.N.
Perhaps the World Worker's Party or the World Communist Revolutionary
Party could do the heavy lifting.

If ever there was a demonic rogue presence on the face of this world,
it is the United States. The world would clearly be better off without
its 230 year existence. Ward Churchill agrees.

Your thoughts?

Who would then act as policeman to all the rogue nations that would result
from the liberation of the 50 states? Some of them might even start using
the metric system, or if that's too radical for them, start publishing
cooking recipes with dry ingredient measures by weight, instead of the
"cup".

I vote instead of abolishing the country, the administration be brought to
international tribunal court. That way, each side has a chance to defend
their standing, without being on their own soil. Somehow I have visions of
Bush behaving like Milosevik, claiming that no jurisdiction rests with the
court, and thus wouldn't defend himself.

It'd be nice for a change to have someone decide whether or not Bush was
"relevant".

The US is fine. What we need to abolish is the adminstration with its

If it were abolished, what entity (with any power whatsoever) would enforce
it?

Besides, what would terrorists do with their lives? Blow themselves up in a
deserted area?

Kinder than the dirt encrusted Europeans they civilized over five
centuries of presence in Spain and whose only response was to attempt
to skewer them or stave in their skulls or burn them at the stake for
heresy. You should read the history of Islamic-Christian relations
before saying things like that.

? I have no idea what you are trying to say. Eisenhower
was supreme commander of the Allied Forces and he was our
president after WWII because he was so greatly respected by
American voters. How can you begin to diminish that fact?

There is no way you can paint Eisenhower and Bush with the
same brush if that's what you're trying to do.

You're referring to an article that covers a small portion of the
relations, one that was particularly frought with turmoil. I may
have missed it, but I saw no mention of contributions in knowledge,
founding of universities and centres of learning in which Christians
were welcomed. I refer specifically to the university of Granada
which was the model for some of the older Spanish universities,
Salamanca, Alcala de Henares, and the Université de Paris which was
the model for all the other universities in Europe. I also saw only
reference to Islamic agression but none to their pacification and
social improvements (over the previous conditions of course, you
can't make a silk purse...) in the areas they did occupy (something
the US government claims it is doing now in Iraq, I might point out).

The history of the spread of Islam is well documented and I might add
that I am conversant with that period in history, but what is less
documented are the improvements they brought with them: better
sanitation, science (including cutting-edge medicine and astronomy
which allowed farther reaching travel [check out the life of Ibn
Batuta]), and yes, even the survival of Greek theatre for which we
are all forever in their debt.

The European response was to take to arms and seek to eradicate a
much superior civilisation on the grounds that they couldn't accept
Muhammad. Islam accepts Christianity as part of its tradition. That
is a fundamental tenet of Islam in fact.

And, what is less known also and not mentioned here in this Xtian
(yes, I noted the header of the page) apologia for barbaric
behaviour, is that most Christians in the areas under Islamic rule
were converting voluntarily to Islam. That was the true threat of
Islam in the Middle Ages, its power to turn Christians into what
their former religious leaders qualified as "heretics".

A more modern case, by way of illustration of the power of Islam, is
that of the Islamic community of India. There the untouchables, the
lowest and most reviled caste, realized that Islam accepted them as
equals, which Hinduism did not. So there were massive conversions on
a scale that would make Jerry Falwell envious.

When it came time to pay the piper, Christians in Europe balked. In
conclusion, I'll quote the following (note the ***):

"Medieval Spain was one of the most tolerant lands in medieval
Europe, a place where Christians, Jews, and Moslems lived in
harmony. ***That had been the policy of the Moslems when they ruled
Spain***; the Christians continued it. By the 15th century, however,
intolerance grew, evidenced by mob violence and persecution laws. In
1492, Castile passed a law requiring Jews to become Christians or go
into exile. Spaniards increasingly saw Moslems as a problem. The
Moslems rebelled against religious intolerance and were ordered to
convert to Christianity or leave. Too many Spaniards were beginning
to believe that loyalty to the monarch and to Spain required that
everyone believe the same."

Then there's John Q. American... we also have one of the (if not THE)

A lovely and long dissertation about how benevolent the moors were
after they invaded spain and kill a substantial portion of it
inhabitants during its occupation.

And I see that your still using a tag line that you know is untruth.

I think that anyone reading the history of the crusades at the above

Well Michel I have never said that the US should rule the world. I
just said that you as a non American can not decide for us, what we

But if what you will do has a direct impact on the quality of life
and the political and economic stability of other sovereign nations,
then you no longer have the right to act unilaterally without
expecting any criticism levelled at your actions. That is what the
UN was created to allow, a debate in a neutral area. You and I
cannot resolve this because you are dead set against accepting
criticism and I believe it is the only way you will grow up and join
the community of nations.

But the United Nations, created at the behest of the United States
among other founding nations for this very purpose, is the proper
forum to debate these matters and resolve them with the greatest (not
wealthiest) good in mind.

Really? Can you substantiate that with non-Catholic sources?
Something that hasn't been vetted by Cardinal Ratzinger would be a
good start.

However, it was not a history, just a personal note on a topic for
which the author has a clear bias in favour of Christianity. Have
you ever read a Muslim history of the Crusades to balance your point
of view? Of course you haven't.
