Mostafa,
World leadership is not a goal of the American Corporate Empire(ACE).
Leadership, in fact does not enter into the goals of any Empire, past
or present. The British Empire sacked and looted and claimed that
"The Sun Never Set Upon the British Empire!" Even the Roman Empire
did little for the Lands it conquered. Empires come into being as the
Ruling Class within a nation becomes intent upon taking control of
that which belongs to others. Conquest, not Leadership is the
objective of all Empires. Many Americans live outside the ACE, and
oppose its Bully Boy tactics. But what we post here is of no concern
to the Empire's leaders. Unless we become a threat to their
dominance, we will be ignored and have no impact on the general
public.
You set forth a statement that troubles me, Mostafa. You wrote, "We
as Muslims must stand for our liberty, present ourselves to
others properly and without hesitation."
My problem with such statements is that they exclude those who hold
different religious views. It implies that the only road to true
freedom is the Muslim Way. Until we see All Humans as our
brothers/sisters, we will continue to fight among ourselves. No one
group owns Truth.

Carl, thank you for your threads. Well indeed, the
portrait of the United States has eminently been maculated across the
globe. This powerful nation has failed in mass leadership. It is no
longer eligible to genuinely represent civil and democratic
principles. Instead of assembling other nations under the flag of
unity and multiculturalism, it has fractioned them with sectarianism,
secernment and racial disparity. If you walk through inner cities in
the States, you will see communities based on colour. Malcolm X has
been intemperately malcontented with this nation's notoriously
racialist disposal. In major dictionaries, he is deliberately
synonymised as Malcolm Little because of his skin's texture and
complexion. This reflects America's crucial racial crisis. I am sure
many of you have heard of former Egyptian statesman Anwar el-Sadat. He
had darker skin than Obama be that as it may, he fought and won,
sought peace and prospered. Furthermore, he has been granted Nobel
Prize for substantial peace achievement. With the critical surge of
discrimination on racial basis, America resembles radically
dissentious and detrimental factors. And as for the demagogic rhetoric
uttered by Donald Trump type of Americans, America couldn't lead the
world. There is a massive denial of America leading the world if it
insists to act the way it typically does. The world must determine its
ultimate destiny. The cultural cablegram of American influence must be
totally unplugged. They couldn't coerce us to be a carbon copy of
them. America never invented freedom nor it is exclusive to a
particular region anywhere in the world. People have the right to
express freedom as they deem appropriate. Thence, if your cultural
arena deems to express freedom through conservatism, you certainly
must be able to do so. Similarly, if you are convinced of liberalism,
you must be tolerated expressing your views through its tenets. I
scold Americanism for promoting xenophobic connotation. 9-11 has been
unethically misused to deploy and somewhat justify military
aggression. We have seen this through the invasion of Afghanistan,
Iraq and now, through the tremendous chaos in Syria, the situation is
clearer than ever before to everyone. Despite this vivid clarity, some
people are still flustered. 9-11 has never been spatted in the Muslim
area. However, with the relentless era of thuggish America, some
people here may wrongfully presume it is merited which is incorrect. I
urge persistent recede and defiance of hostility nevertheless, I do
not give credit to the sacrifice of innocent civilians. I may have
concurred with 9-11 theoretically as of decimating America's
transgressive authority. Even so, I do not give credit to the death of
innocents. Consequently, defying the United States and even
retaliating from it won't ever solve the embarrassedly complicated
prob. We as Muslims must stand for our liberty, present ourselves to
others properly and without hesitation. I commend the significant rate
of political awareness on this list. I benefit from just reading many
of your posts. And as for English, I reckon it is relatively competent
nevertheless, it constantly demands improvement and correction. I
therefore appreciate anyone's advice or tips to improve my command of
written English. I may use formal vocabulary to fairly accommodate the
subjects we discuss. However, I am sure my usage may not be as
accurate as it should be. I therefore encourage members of this list
to correct my English where that is relevant. Thank you, Mustafa

what to retrospect?
I basically meant to ask, what has the United States achieved so far
throughout the seventeen years of alleged war on terror?
