Another thing I expected from you, Themba, is the petty and childish remark about my "competence" in discussing international matters. Any sensible person had understood that by saying I had read over forty books on the subject, I did not mean I was some kind of "master", but just that I found no author contradicting the view you and John disagree with.
I know about some of the hilarious theories you mention. What I have said and what I maintain is that nowadays no serious author supports them (please give me the references of any "contemporary" book contradicting the "widely acknowledged view" as you say. To me the correct adverb is not "widely" but "totally").
The reason why many Americans cannot accept THE geopolitical method of analysis is that it mathematically leads to the conclusion that the more powerful one state is, the more ruthless it becomes. And as the US is the only superpower... It is very hard for nationalist pride to swallow, I agree.
It is no use digressing over it, as I have seen so many times in this site ("Hey, look at China... WE are the good guys!", etc, etc). I have already said the US is not the biggest bastard in the world, but it is ridiculous to measure one's virtue by comparing with the nastiest ones, isn't it? So stop it, please...
Themba, isn't that you who said you no longer wanted to hear from me?
(I am engaged in too many discussions to remember exactly who said what). You have changed your mind, as you wish but if you could just do away with insults it would be just fine, ok? Insults are revealing enough about the minds of the person who vomits them, and do not particularly enhance his credibility. Do you agree with my opinion?
You will not mind if I call you a coward for not answering my survey(search the definition in the dictionary before saying I insult you)?
It was designed especially for people just like you, please answer...
