Basically there are a lot of people that believe the US brings everything on themselves, this documentary tries to show what would happen if North America left the rest of the world on its own and the aftermath. It has made me look at things a little differently since I watched it.

There is a book with the same name, capitalize the US in us. My bad.

I would be up for that. I'm opened minded, and like to beleive I am equally skeptical of propaganda pieces as I am smear jobs.It's tough to find anything to read or watch that purely objective.Anyone with some smarts and a good research team can't paint a picture that argues a position convincingly. As good as that flick may be, would you willing to watch a doc that details a contradictory opinion?

Do you know how many innocent Muslims are killed by the us in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine? Just yesterday CNN posted 30 people killed by a usa bomb at an afghani wedding! Did you hear about that? Is that terrorism?

I am by no way condoning the innocent Bostonians who tragically died but give your head a shake and open your mind up. But hey they are Muslims, therefore terrorists so it's ok!
- ystoil

this, it's only an act of terrorism and a tragedy when it happens close to home, America bombs a wedding? meh they live in the middle east so they must be terrorists... i hate this mindset

does anybody know where tim thomas was yesterday?

A hockey comment? nice. I was getting side tracked. Hey are the Devils going to re-up Clarkeson?

I just don't think that Muslim terrorists (if in fact one or more is found to be the culprit), reign terror simply because they are Muslim and their faith/ideals differ from American or 1st world culture. That just seems a bit too shallow for me.
- Jeropotato

the whole issue stemmed from America building a military base on Muslim land, this is a religious war, just like almost every war in history

Yeah all the Muslims in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait hate having American bases built on their land. All the Muslims in Bosbia Herzogovinia blame the US for not intervening in their civil war earlier and think its the USs fault that 4 million people died. All these people have to realize you can't have it both ways. I also disagree with all the wars being religious based, why do Muslims fight Muslims and Christians fight Christians, its all about land and natural resources with religion being an easy target. I'm not a religious person whatsoever but everything the so called Christians are fighting for goes against Christs golden rule. Organized religion is a facade for big business.

Don't know. He has been playing like poop since the about the 14th game of the season. Not worth more than $4 million. That in itself might be an overpayment.

Too bad.Was he playing over his head last year? He looked good in the playoff's too. Looked like the kinduv player the Oilers could use. Would you say he is a top 6 or a 3rd liner with spot duty on a scoring line?

But you are now firmly entrenched in the position the US does more to enrich the lives of people in developing nations than the contrary?

Where do you get this poop? 'Firmly entrenched'? I said it was an interesting video.

I think my exact quote was 'made me look at things a little differently' if that means firmly entrenched I'm guilty, you (frank)ing munging zorch!

If you get the chance watch the documentary "The World Without US", I used to think America brought it on themselves but this is a real eye opener.
- ShooterMcGavin

I'm sorry but that doc is pure B.S.
The hypotheticals related to China is nothing but pure speculation, as if they would belligerently nuke Japan merely because of no U.S presence.


There really is only two hostile nations in the world and they aint Iran and North Korea......

Good Blog clouts! You should be writing for the news paper instead of here

Of course it's all speculation, or do you think people who make documentaries that look at how things would change in the future are time travellers and actually are writing from experience? China has said for decades that they believe Taiwan isn't its own country and would bring it back under Chinese rule if they were given the chance? You don't think that Israel would be destroyed by other countries in the region? I also believe Japan and South Korea would start producing nuclear weapons if the US pulled out of that region which would set off a SEA arms race, and with North Korea being (frank)ing crazy results wouldn't be great.

Edit

They also never said Chinas first attack would be nuclear, but China is bound to start expanding or creating 'zones of influence' and as traditional enemies Japan would be looked at. Remember Japan invaded China in 1931, it could actually be looked at as when WW2 began in the Pacific Theater. Why is China building up their military the way that they are?
