You Americans are good at wiping out regimes - TS
Actually we are pretty poor at this: to wit, Bosnia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine, Korea, Vietnam, and so on. We might remove the current incarnation of their leader, but we never really seem to change the situation; just put a new face on it, and pretend that we did good.

How could a Jewish State named Israel continue to occupy the territory it now occupies, AND "vanish from the page of time".
By not being the assholes they are to start with.  But then the question becomes, 'what is the meaning of "the page of time". The old Greeks and Romans, and other ancient cultures believed that they muses "wrote the history" as it happened. That is, there was someone actively 'writing down, on the pages of time, the history of the world'. So in that sense, if it were to 'change' and no longer be the oppressing, dictatorial regime it is today, it would effectively no longer exist on the page of time, it would vanish and just be another 'history'.

On the other hand the statement "Wipe them off the map" says more about us, then anything else, as the old adage goes 'You see in others, what is in your heart and mind', meaning that we tend to believe others capable of doing the bad things that we ourselves would do. Since that is the rhetoric we get from the likes of the Fux Snooze Regime (now that is one regime I wish we could just wipe off the pages of time, and deleted the poisoned influence of those idiots), with the rest of the news media following suit because they can't be bothered to think for themselves anymore, we see our mind set; everyone is attack 'us'. It's the same delusional paranoia Cheney and Bush used for 8 years to sell the American Public on the idea that we have to attack everyone who doesn't agree with us 1000%.

It's all very well to run around saying regulation is bad, get the government off our backs, etc. Of course our lives are regulated. When you come to a stop sign, you stop; if you want to go fishing, you get a license; if you want to shoot ducks, you can shoot only three ducks. The alternative is dead bodies at the intersection, no fish, and no ducks. OK?
