Britain, Canada, Spain, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia & Communists and now, terrorists, which is essentially the same as a communist in terms of media use for general fear mongering. This is the short historic list of enemies of The United States. Oh…and you can insert the US on the list in between Canada and Spain because there is the small matter of a civil war between the War of 1812 and the Spanish American War. War. War. Sounds so trendy.
There aren’t many countries who have not experienced American war-mongering at one time or another. You can count on the US having a big war about every thirty years. The longer, the better. The more obscure the enemy, the better the chance of a prolonged conflict.
The US mentality has not changed since Thomas Jefferson declared that the acquistion of Canada would “be a mere matter of marching”. Mobilized aggression stirs aggressive resistance.
A smile is always better than a sneer. A hand shake is always better than a hand grenade. You know what I mean? Nudge, nudge.
