Welcome to the Republic of The United States of America. Prepare to be conquered.

Sounds sort of funny when you say it aloud, and yet it is to the point. The United States of America, which I so dearly love, is an Empire. We are an Empire of ideas, of culture, of entertainment and philosiphy. And we will conquer you.

We may or may not invade your country. We may or may not remove your leader from power. We may or may not engage your country in an 'economic race' to bankrupt you and collapse your government, but make no mistake, you will be conquered, regardless of how we do it.

Don't hate us. It is the nature of Empires to conquer. You can not blame us any more than you can blame the British for colonizing the world, for the Romans bringing western culture to the known world, or even the endless Chinese dynasties that ruled over the Asiatic for centuries. It is as natural to us as breathing.

You will find something within our culture that will catch your attention, something you will love. The magic of our movies, the freedom of our ideas, the religions we practice or the sports that we win. You will be conquered, and eventually you will love us.

But in case you dont love us, in case you arent crushed by our culture, your traditions and old world ways of doing things thrown to the wind, dont worry, we will eventually fall. All Empires do, its the natural course of things...
