? i wasn't callin u greedy, i was talkin bout bush and his support of the "patriot" act, and was reponding to amsterdams comment. (sorry if i didn't make that clear, i was sorta angry at the time.) I didn't deny the existence of an "american empire" though thats not exactly what id call it, its not quite an empire just yet, though it does have military bases stationed strategically all over the world.
