The vid conveniently left out Clintons' illegal war against Serba, another proud chapter in our history...

Kennedy and Kruschev went behind Castro's back when they decided to remove the missiles. Castro first found out about that on the news or whatever. The embargo on Cuba started in 1960, not after the missile crisis.

@resesmilk2; Typical american idiot.

You're the reason and your government to have yet again another 9-11.

9-11 is nothing compared to what the u.s. government has been doing since the 50's......therefore a nuke is the solution to the world's problems...

NO JEWS NO U.S. = WORLD PEACE.

You realize that you spelled brief incorrectly, right?

The rest of the "civilized" world is laughing at, fearing, and shaking their collective heads in confusion regarding the US.

Electing Governor Bush TWICE, nearly electing Sarah Palin as VP, the fiasco that is the Iraq war, the anti-Obama hatred, etc, etc.....

Sometimes I wonder if such a religious country like the US should even be considered "civilized".

lol, don't be an idiot

sorry sweetheart, but america is one of the few countries that HASN'T tried to take over the world (HAH, you must have us confused with the european union)

btw, let me save you the trouble: using economic strength to keep a bunch of fucking animals who want to take over the world from misbehaving does not constitute imperialism

end of discussion

[Nutnut87]

But who saved us from having to speak english?

[resesmilk2]

NEWSFLASH! isolationism DOESN'T WORK, REMEMBER? (WWI, u dumbass)

lol having the world's largest economy and subsequently being the most relied on, DOESN'T make us imperialists. you wanna talk about imperialism...? uhh... the british empire? uhh... how about the french colonialism in vietnam that pretty much started the war? uhh... how about..... THE SOVIET UNION???

we save the entire world from having to speak german, then from having to speak japanese, than russian-yet WE are imperialists???

[resesmilk2]

those hippies and journalists not only destroyed our country's credibility, but also our country's ability to win wars.

yea, good call thomasvonpol, you're right. we should have just let russia take over the world. learning to speak russian can't be THAT hard, can it? (moron)

lol... its ok for the Soviet Union to try to take over the world and murder and starve their own citizens in the process, but not for america (who promotes productivity and economic stability)to try to stop them
