America: Etched in History As Capitalist and Deceitful ???

What does the American flag mean?
Freedom? Democracy? Righteousness? Wealth?

It may mean those things to some Americans,but to others. it is seen as a beacon of profiteering, deceit and selfishness.

'But wait', I hear you say- 'America got rid of the Nazis'...
The U.S flag built up Hitler's war machine to invade Poland.
Capitalist industry manufactured materials which were bought and utilized by the Hitler Regime- and the U.S supported German industry at the time.

Many countries which were blinded by ignorance of America's profiteering have been entwined in the industrial and economic boom of America, and are interwoven in the U.S dominance of economic and military power.

The World is distracted by the entertainment that America brings- the movies, music and theatre. Some of the better things, but which do not blind the many who see beyond the red carpets and curtains.

America is the self-imposed 'decider' of much of the World's existence. The U.S decides who to support, who to control and who to conquer- mostly not out of necessity, but out of dominant selfishness and greed.
Some in America want to always be the super power above all countries.  And so interwoven are the World's economies to the American desires of control and profiteering,so are they stifled and held back from success.

America has the monopoly on success, both in military and economics. And any nation which challenges that success is seen as a threat to America.
How would have history played out if the U.S had taken a more equal stance in the pursuit of competition and success ?
Perhaps many wars would have never happened, many millions of people would still be alive, and smaller nations would have had a chance to become successful for their own people.

We will never know. America chose to dictate the path of history, as if it was pre-determined and planned, written into an encyclopedia and followed through according to a specific time-line.

The World is changing to become more independent of American controlism, or any controlism for that matter.
The British Empire was the most 'successful' of all Empires, yet failed to maintain the stronghold over the World when America took over with the creation of Wall Street and powerful competitive economics, which gave the U.S the ability to build up military strength and dominate as once the British did.

If there is a lesson to be learnt from the fall of the British Empire, it is that nothing lasts forever, and so the American dominance will not last forever.
Currently the U.S has a monopoly of control over the Middle East- which is seen as one strong card in the American deck. But the U.S cannot play that card forever.

Perhaps the U.S, with all it's dominant economic power and military strength overplayed their cards through the decades, rushing in to take on the smaller nations to control and profit from, and did not plan a slower, more sensible, fair and just plan to become a superpower, but merely capitalized on chance, not stopping to gauge the possibility of corruption and mismanagement of their economic power or military strength.

America is now seen by many as a new 'Nazi' style nation, one that practices inhumanity and greed as a plan to continue the control over the World. Many nations have built each other up, with America a main part of that support.
But when corruption and greed took control of American politics, the worst came from a nation which so many were simply made to believe was righteous and fair.

The enemy is not America against the World. America's enemy are the greedy and corrupt within America, who pushed America down a dark path towards war and greed, economic corruption and selfishness, and those people
who have many alliances across the World are seeking to take the U.S furthur into darkness and eternal evil. That is also the enemy of the World, present in so many countries.

Many in America know this is true, and do not blame other nations for placing the U.S on a path towards decline, and only the U.S Government can rebuild America to be a nation truly supportive of their own people without bringing down other nations in the process.

Will the U.S Government rebuild their own industries, support their own people with businesses and development- or will America end in economic collapse, State by State, and lose all that they could potentially gain by creating a new country of success, for the American people- a country without wars and greed from dominating the future of their existance ?

A different World of good relations and economic fairness could be a etched in the pages of history, rather than the dark path that the World now walks down.

So thanks, America. You were a beacon of hope and democracy. Whatever has happened to that beacon, which is now shrouded in greed and war, and which overshadows the World in a dark cloud which rains down on all nations?
