I'd not seen that the United States was looking to take over other countries to send American Peoples there to settle and have 16 kids a family and out-breed the "Untermensch".
I've yet to see anyone involved in US foreign policy claim a dolchestossiegend for Vietnam or Korea or anywhere the US didn't get exactly what it wanted.
That shows an ignorance of history and the crimes of the Soviet system.
In the 19th century the Czarist Russian government deported around 1.2 million prisoners to Siberia.
After the Revolution the labour camps in Siberia were closed down. These were later reopened by Joseph Stalin and opponents of the regime were sent to what became known as Glavnoye Upravleniye Lagere (Gulag).
Large numbers of people living along the western frontier of the Soviet Union (Georgian, Ukranian, Baltic) and Chinese and Koreans who lived along the eastern border were deported to Gulags in the interior just before the outbreak of WW2.
Others were sent to labour camps because of their religious beliefs including Catholics, Baptists and members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
It is estimated that around 50 million perished in Soviet gulags between 1930 and 1950.
I know it's fun to consider the United States as bad as the Soviet system.
But it's not at all accurate.
All of the people killed in all the wars with the United States since 1776 don't add up to the number of citizens killed by the Soviet Union.
If the United States had a "Gulag Archipelago" then there would not have been a 9-11 or Oklahoma City bombing. All of the fringe people in the US that might do something like that would in in a chain of prisons in Alaska, dying by the millions. Or maybe they'd be in prison being tortured with psychiatry like Communist systems are so fond of. Or maybe they'd have thier hearts and livers sold to the highest bidder.
I'd much rather pop open my newsreader and skim over sci.space.* or the aviation and military newsgroups than try to find the same quality information on the web.

Larger grain production area than Europe. More people and more advanced sciences than Europe, by about 500 years.
Why didn't they take over the world?
As for "hunting and gathering" by say 1000 CE, the only places that was happening was the Arctic, Australia, the Pacific Islands, South America and southern Africa.
The Eastern American Indians and Pacfic Indian tribes had advanced trade routes, the Central American Indians were busy building pyramids and conducting wars for slaves. Islam was spread from Spain to Indonesia.
The plains indians of North America had a very free thinking society and all they did was hunt and gather.
Look at what the Aztecs accomplished. By 1490 they had a human sacrifice system set up so they could kill people more efficently than the Nazis did.
I own property, if someone comes on to that property to commit a crime, no matter where it is, I have a right to self-defense.
If that happened on my property, then I'd finally have my excuse to go hangout with a Remington 700 and some camo on my property and play shoot out the tires and engine of whatever thieves roll back the gate and fence and come on my property.
We used to have a Gas and Diesel pump on the farm that we didn't lock because about 10 people needed to use it. One night someone drove out to the farm and decided it was free gas night. The pump was quite loud and obnoxious, it woke me up, I went out with a.357 and fired twice in the air.
No one ever came back and tried to steal our fuel.
And with Canada only having an Armored Brigade and half of thier F/A-18s operational right now that would be problematic.
According to the laws governing the sea, a nation has a 12 mile zone of complete control and then psuedo-control over Exclusive Economic Zones, Law Enforcement Interdiction Zones and Fishing Zones and Sea Lanes.
The United States got alot of milage out of sailing into an extended zone Libya claimed and then shooting down planes and sinking ships that came out to shoot at the Navy.
The P-3 Orion the Chinese had a fender-bender with two years ago was out in open sea/air that China claimed was an EEZ. But then China pretty much claims everything down to Singapore as an EEZ.
Every spring I can tell you that the Contiental United States will warm up. Snow will melt and storms will develop in the Atlantic.
Climate is the overall weather of an area. When we record climate data, we record average temperatures, temperature ranges and high and low temperatures.
Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a given time that includes temperature, precipitation, humidity, pressure, winds.

1. Columbia can be fitted with the ISS docking adapter (Orbiter Docking System). But didn't have it on this mission. Columbia never went to ISS, but was going to later in 2003.
2. Even if Columbia had the docking adapter thier orbits were very far apart. Columbia launched to a 39 degree inclination. ISS is at a 51.6 degree inclination.
3. Once in orbit, the main engines are without any fuel. Only the OMS and RCS engines are available, and their capability is roughly 1250 feet per second, or about 1400 km/h speed change (delta v). If you need one quarter of the 28,000 km/h speed to change orbital inclination, it means is 7000 km/h. So the shuttle has nowhere near what is needed to perform a orbital plane change of 12 degrees.
But if we bend the rules of physics, and get Columbia to ISS, and somehow get 7 people across the void with 4 space suits which each have a limited amount of consumables, we have to support 10 people on a station with supplies and O2 for 3 people. And CO2 needs to be scrubbed.
Do we get to sue the Spanish for thier attacks on the Aztecs? How about the Aztecs for thier wars on neighboring tribes? Do the Israelis get to sue the EU for money the EU provided to the PA that was then passed into the hands of a Hamas cell?
So far the Columbia Accident board has said that before resuming shuttle missions NASA must do a better job inspecting the leading edge of the spaceplanes' wings and ensure that the nation's spy satellites capture detailed images of the orbiter during each flight.

"This treaty is a dog. It would not do more than slow global warming by a few decades."
Try a few years.
By 2008-12 Kyoto would decrease the global CO2 output by 5.2 percent, if developing nations, which cannot be bound by Kyoto, keep CO2 output at 1990 levels. A number of computer models estimate that by 2100 the average temperature would by.15 C less than if Kyoto was not implemented and global sea rise would be only 2.5 cm less than if nothing was done . Kyoto would slow global warming by only six years; the temperature we would have reached in 2094 would instead be delayed to 2100.
