      Of course Israel would have to disappear for that too

      I don't suppose you're even remotely aware of how repugnant it is for a German to be seen calling for the "disappearence" of Israel?

      Oh Yeah! You're the guy who thinks that there are more Nazis in the US than in Germany. How ironic!

        What's the difference if a German or American or Brit does it, in this day and age?

          No, I think it would be more likely that he would turn on Europe for persecuting the Bosnians and Kosovars. Without US clout to protect these areas the Serbs would avenge themselves on these Muslim populations. Likely the Serbs would receive some assistance from the Russians. The EU would stand by wringing their hands after quickly removing their peacekeepers. OBL would quickly realise that Europe is an easier target than Russia.

                Im too tired to read through Lincoln's post. Perhaps someone could paraphrase it or give me the gist of it so I could place my opinion.

                  What I seriously see would happen is the EU moving slightly to the right and increasing military funding, as there are no US troops. The EU (and possibly Russia) would intergrate further to defend themselves.

                  Faded Glory - what's pathetic is that you believe that. Why (and how) would the US be a superpower forever? Nations are always either superceded, conquered or they collapse (or a combination of the three).

                        The literal city of Babylon mentioned in the Bible was a region of mixed people that were very prosperous and powerful. They were also quite into trade and making money and getting rich. The city was eventually destroyed. Some think that the Babylon mentioned in the book of Revelation (which makes spirituall applications to history) is America because of the many similarities. A few things that come to mind are:

                        1. The nations stand way off "for fear of her torment". Radiation?

                        2. The world's merchants mourn when they lose their wealth that was invested in America.

                        3. The phony Christianity in America that pretends that arrogance and pride is a virtue, and humility is to be shunned.

                        4. The idea that America is industructable (kind of like the Titanic).

                        5. America "sits on many waters" (both literally and in the sense that peoples are "waters" in some biblical passages).

                        6. America is a "whore", that is she has sold her spiritual heritage for money like Judas did.

                        Anyway, that should give you some idea. I personally believe tha America is a large part of "Babylon" but it is not the whole picture. "Babylon" is also religious confusion and the pride of man generally.

The Europeans were shocked at how the modern and flexible the fleet was and raced to catch up. (especially Britian and germany). So we will always have influence.

                            Thank you, that was quite helpful. With school starting monday I wished to practice as lttle brain activity as possible till then.

                            Ill just say I put as much faith into any prophecy as I do into the Chicago Cubs winning a World Series. But it is an interesing idea, and the parallels definately make you go 'hmmm, thats interesting'. But there are also things that are just opinions and falacies. Still cool though.

                              Yeah, Moe, that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

                                I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
