We first fought the heathens in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change.
-- Serj Tankian
The discussion here is two fold:
Do you think your nation is involved in global domination, and if not global maybe regional? Second, do you feel men use religion, drugs or other 'excuses' as a means to direct their own ambitions? If they do, why do 'we' fall for it?
First Question:
I think the very, very priviledged are involved in global domination - not a country - but those who show little concern for the growing difference in the very wealthy and the very impoverished. Do you not believe with all of the food and technologies that the world today could come together and live an equally satisfying life. Oh well, maybe it is just me.
Second Question:
FEAR is the true source of anyone pushing their own amitions. Religion, drugs, etc., all just add to the influence of fear to gain control over those who would allow someone else to tell them that they are there to ensure their safety.

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.
-- Harry S Truman
Many could possibly see such declarations as a formation of the future one world government:

I do not think the United States has motives for Global domination. There may be some extreme left or right wingers who would like to see this. I say that but there are several that could be wanting a global union where america doesnt govern itself maybe but I am very sceptical of that.
