The world's best and brightest may cobble together anything that they wish, but they'll never overcome the force of nationalism. Has any one of them stopped to answer where today are the French, Ottoman, English, Austro-Hungarian and Soviet Empires, as well as the former Yugoslavia? Have they thought about what fractured these artificial entities?
Or still closer to our own time, the failure to thrive of Sub-Saharan African countries used to be most often blamed on their former colonial masters putting together historic enemies (nations) within the same boundaries. And, given the popular outcry of the electorate against CIRA and The DREAM act, I hope our nation's leaders aren't surprised that legitimate citizens of this country are unlikely to ever love illegal aliens to whom they grant McCitizenship
In the end, whatever they cobble together will be driven apart by the centrifugal forces of nationalism, leaving a neo-feudal society or contiguous ethnic diaspora in place of a once great nation. In the end everything finally yields to culture and nationalism. History proves it every time.
OK. So then how do you explain america? What culture and what nation are the people of the USofA?

The United Kingdom, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading
role in developing Western world ideas of property, liberty, capitalism and parliamentary democracy - to
say nothing of its part in advancing world literature and science. At its zenith during the first half of the
20th century, the British Empire stretched over one quarter of the earth’s surface.
The effects of World War I and World War II saw the UK’s strength seriously depleted. The second half
of the 20th century saw the replacement of the Empire with the Commonwealth of Nations and the UK rebuilding itself.
...and that’s all folks!
Nothing, as far as I can tell.
Sorry, but I’ve already written Great Britain off; between the socialists and the Muslims, I believe it over, over there.
Someone needs to develop a commercial with Winston Churchill’s famous quote “Never have so few given so much..” with video footage of the brave WW2 RAF soldiers protecting their homeland followed by a frowning Churchill saying “For this?”. Winston Churchill is rolling over in his grave and Hitler and Satan are having a nice laugh.
what we are doing is the mass exodus of christians out of the country
the royals will be royal over a bunch of muslim third worlders.
the biggest mistake they made was to offer citizenship from previous territories.
downfall from there.
Margaret Thatcher, the Last of the British. Will a modern-day James Fennimore Cooper memorialize her in print?
Please??

Interesting article on the feud between FDR & Churchill on Britain’s *empire* which Winnie wanted to keep and FDR wanted to dissolve.

On May 10, 1982, Henry A. Kissinger mounted the podium at Chatham House, the London home of the Royal Institute for International Affairs, to deliver the keynote address for the bicentenary celebration of the Office of the British Foreign Secretary. Kissinger boasted of his loyalty to the British Foreign Office on all crucial matters of postwar policy matters in dispute between the United States and Britain. The crux of his disagreement with his own nominal country, the United States, he told his audience, was the basic dispute in policy and philosophy between ``Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, reflecting our different histories.’’ Roosevelt, Kissinger stated, had condemned Churchill as being ``needlessly obsessed with power politics, too rigidly anti-Soviet, too colonialist in his attitude to what is now called the Third World, and too little interested in building the fundamentally new international order towards which American idealism had always tended.’’
It is Churchill who was right, and Roosevelt, who was wrong, in these matters, said Kissinger.
Your question seems to imply that the U.S. is not a nation and does not have it's own culture. Just as the French are French, the English are English, Americans are Americans.
I assumed your use of the word “nation” was in the old fashioned sense. That is that a nation is a groupe of genetically similar people, not a political boundary on a map. In that sense, americans are not a nation and our culture is not a culture. It is a hodgepodge of non-culture.
The forces of a genuine evil are taking root. And like certain garden 'ground covers'. . .this evil appears to sleep. . .then creeps. . .and then it leaps. . .
Almost like Islam: The religious kudzu that sleeps, creeps, and before you know it has completely taken over.
Someone should refer this person to the American Declaration of Independence.I thought of that too. The problem is, too many of us in America have forgotten what this document stands for.

The serfs no longer have any power. Unless someone does something extraordinary, the UK is over.
Very scary.....change a few names, and the very same thing more or less is happening here.”
This has another grim meaning. We cannot control two-thirds of the immigration now revolutionising this country because it comes from EU states. “

Yes... We’re gradually giving up our sovereignity to the UN and the North America Union.
We are well on the way into this abyss. It appears it will come to pass in much the same way, unless we change who is in charge of our political parties.
The two frontrunners for 2008 at this time, R And D , will keep sending us in this direction for the same reasons the author of this piece states.
How very depressing.
