      I could easily say that Iraq is Israels turf, not ours......


      Israel's turf is our turf, since Israel is in our sphere of influence . They aren't a superpower, so they don't get a 'turf'.

      And since the fall of the USSR, the Mid East has become our 'sphere'.

        I heard about this on NPR this morning, and it sounded like this was mostly a pride thing: "we can handle this ourselves, thank you very much." I must have missed the part of the story regarding the spying allegations. The Peace Corps workers they interviewed didn't seem all that upset.

        You may now continue your regularly scheduled threadjack.

                There just not a US like or USSR like superpower... but they'll probably get there soon.

                  Oh dear. Not one of these boring definitional arguments again.
                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                      You're begging for one. But this one's just silly. Even if true, it would just degrade the meaning of supermodel.

                        I'm begging for one? What did you turn mindreader all of a sudden ?

                        I'm not saying them and the US are the only superpowers. I'm saying Britain and France deserve to be there as well (or at least in the argument.. probably France more than Britain though). But only the US goes beyond superpower .

                        After all, superpower is a colloquial definition. It isn't anywhere in IR (which only speaks of great powers and hegemons), and is adequately explained by dictionary defintion.

                            Oh really?
                            Then explain to me please how in the hell a camel loaded with bags full of explosives and left on MARKET square could be attack vs. army? You know, only crazy would call market a military target.
                            Or perhaps you could explain to silly Russian, why those guys made bombs inside of various things- photo cameras, pack of sigaretes, etc and quite often inside childish TOYS and thrown them everywhere and when someone piked them up...boom. This isn't a terrorism right?



                            Just to make you fell a bit better, I'll change one word in your claim.
