America Is Going To Be An Empire, Then I Want To Be An Archduke

I do know that the "arch" denotes royal blood, but this is America and all of our royal blood is pretty diluted. Seeing that we all know that George W. will be Emperor and Dick And Donald will probably get to be Barons or maybe Counts if their wives want to be called a Countess. Well wait a minute there, just thinking about it, The Baron Dick doesn't have the ring I think it should, so how about, Lord Dick, yes that sounds much better.

There really aren't that many Americans and there are billions of potential "subjects," serfs, vassals or just plain underlings. I am not making any claim to like England or France, heck I'm not even a Republican, but maybe some section in the north of India or Kajekistan. If need be, send me to some trouble spot and make me a War Lord with a troop of Marines to keep things calm.

We as a nation have to start thinking about who will get these titles as we have learned with Saddam and the Shah of Iran that local people are not reliable. They tend to run amuck. What we need are Americans that know just how much pressure should be put on the necks of these people, to make them love Emperor George.

Now you and I both know that we will have a benevolent rule. After all America is creating this Empire not for our benefit, but for the benefit of all mankind. That is why the Countess Condoleezza has said "The United States is a very special country in that we maintain this position of military strength that we have now, we do it in support of a balance of power that favors freedom."

That is why we can't let any other country have our level of military strength, because only America is willing to attack other nations, so that we can make them free. If another power was to attack another nation, they would want to conquer them, while we are just letting them become part of our benevolent Empire.

In the years to come the whole world will learn just how Compassionate Emperor George can be. When the rest of this world loses their false gods and learns that Emperor George's god is the only god, the world will be truly blessed.
