When one speak of the United States, the impression on those around him is always great. The great America, supreme ruler of our world today. Unchallenged at the summit, she reaches down to push off those climbing up the mountain of authority. Far down she has to reach, for even those nearest to the top are not near at all. America, the land of stars and stripes, unsurpassable and divine. They alone hold the key to the gates of history.
Both respected and worshipped, America maintains a large degree of influence throughout the known world. On earth, there is none that are capable of truely challenging them. In space, they own every portion known to mankind. They rule all undentifiable matter through their undefined quantities of ducats. They are the world's richest and they have the world's richests. Their limitless industries crowd every corner of the world, drawing the currencies to them. At the center of the world, they do whatever they please. They have the cash. The world looks up to them at the summit while they look down below. Untouchable, they master all of authority. In God's name, they capitalise on their authority. With God behind them, they ravage all lands as they see fit. They make the laws. They make the rules. They command and reign over earth. They are America.

The United Nations was created so that every nations had a share in our world. Given the power and authority to act against agressive nations, they were to keep the peace. But alas, it was America whose voice was essential for the creation of this supposedly peace keeping force. A world body created to make decisions for the world. Is this a dream? Or a lie? Is the UN more powerful than the US? Surely, America has to bend to the world's authority. It is evident that America has not attacked any country for selfish amibition for fear of the collective union and resistance of the countries of the UN. What of Iraq? Is America crusading against terrorism for the sake of the world? Or is it to do with selfish ambition?
Surely, the UN can end all nonsense from America if they wish to. They are the world's body. Surely, their word weighs more than anything else? Then why does America owe $1 billion to the UN? A sum worth peanuts to the world's biggest industry. The UN blocks the will of America and America cuts off its share of paying. It is a big blow to the UN. $1 billion is a lot to the UN. It needs the cash to run. Worst still, Japan wishes to pull out of paying too! If America is not paying, why should they? Can the world's body do nothing to punish America? Their intent is obvious. Yet a nation of America's stature can afford to make claims and make the world repeat that claim.
Is the world unfair? It is always unfair. The recent Israeli attack on Lebanon shook public opinion. For two soldiers, Israel overturns everything that is standing. People have lost loved ones and their entire life. Are the attacks justified? (I myself would prefer the use of a better word than justify, for I disagree to the need for justifying any war. But let us settle for justify now, in its most general meaning.) America does not care if the war is successfully justified or not. Its claim that Hizbolla started the conflict would suffice for the faithful dogs of America. It should suffice for the rest of the world as well. After all, who dares to comdemn Israel and then condemn America for supporting the terrible attacks. Whoever does, runs the risk of angering America and losing its friendship, how ever deep. Iran obviously does not need to care as the friendship was long forsaken. But what of Syria and other Islamic countries who at the start fiercely disparaged Israel's offensive. Why is it that they have not raised a strong voice to resist the American "justification by presence"?
America reigns supreme over all the earth. They maneuvre through the expanse as if all were their own. They hold the globe upon their palms. All the soil and all the waters are theirs. Their people hold places of great influence in every land. Their navy are ever-present in every sea. The authority of the universe lies not on any hand but theirs. The future becomes what they say. They are the gateway to the heathen gods, rulers of the realm, Poseiden of the oceans and the bastion of the world's authority.
