is an imperialist aggressor that dominates smaller states.

For his part Castro would like to see the U.S. trade embargo lifted but he does not seem to be inclined to make any serious concessions to Washington to bring that result. For Castro the United States is still an imperialist aggressor that dominates smaller states. During the fall 1990 Security Council debate over the Persian Gulf, Cuba, unlike the Soviet Union, denounced U.S. actions in the region and ultimately voted against the U.N. resolution authorizing force against Iraq. Such actions only served to reinforce the U.S. view that Cuba was not abandoning her revolutionary world position.

is at the beginning of a cataclysmic crisis, a formative moment in the nations history marked by decade of savagery and genocide, which will end with a reset of the social order and its survivors all vowing never to let such a catastrophe happen again.

One quarter of the way into Generation Zero, the filmmaker unveils the deeper theory that guides his thinking: the notion of generational turnings popularized by authors Neil Howe and William Strauss in their books Generations: The History of America's Future (1991) and The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy (1997). According to Strauss and Howe, roughly every 80 years a saeculum, or the average life-span of a person America goes through a cataclysmic crisis. Marked by savagery and genocide, and lasting a decade or more, this crisis ends with a reset of the social order and its survivors all vowing never to let such a catastrophe happen again. Each of these crises, Strauss and Howe posit, have been formative moments in our nation's history. The Revolution of 1776-83, followed roughly 80 years later by the Civil War, followed 80 years after that by the Great Depression and World War II.

is, for many muslims, hypocritical in that it pursues policies abroad in stark contrast to the principles that it claims are its own democracy, self-determination, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, international law.

Most Arabs and Muslims feel that the United States hasn't really been paying much attention to their desires. They think it has been pursuing its policies for its own sake and not according to many of the principles that it claims are its own democracy, self-determination, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, international law. Edward Said

is guilty of having overstepped its national borders in every way... economically, politically, culturally and in the educational policies it imposes on other nations.

According to Putin, the United States 'has overstepped its national borders in every way. This is visible in the economic, political, cultural and educational policies it imposes on other nations. Well, who likes this' Who is happy about this'

is hypocritical to speak of human rights insofar as it is a nation in which the millionaire and beggar coexist... where the indian is exterminated... the black man is discriminated against... the woman is prostituted... and the great masses of chicanos, puerto ricans, and latin Americans are scorned, exploited, and humiliated. . . Where the cia organizes plans of global subversion and espionage, and the pentagon creates neutron bombs capable of preserving material assets and wiping out human beings

With what moral authority can [the US] speak of human rights. . . the rulers of a nation in which the millionaire and beggar coexist... where the Indian is exterminated... the black man is discriminated against... the woman is prostituted... and the great masses of Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, and Latin Americans are scorned, exploited, and humiliated. . . Where the CIA organizes plans of global subversion and espionage, and the Pentagon creates neutron bombs capable of preserving material assets and wiping out human beings. Fidel Castro

is like a gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lighted under it there is no limit to the power it can generate.

I thought of a remark . . . that the United States is like a 'gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lighted under it there is no limit to the power it can generate.' Being saturated and satiated with emotion and sensation, I went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved and thankful. Winston Churchill

The United States is not a nation to which peace is a necessity. Grover Cleveland

is simply not capable of keeping the global system stable and any crisis will result in an attempt by the US to secure its own interests first, even at the expense of others.

Russia is increasingly linked to the interna tional economy, and if growth is to continue, that trend cannot be reversed . Indeed , it is accelerating as Russian companies and capital seek trade and investment opportunities abroad. Consequently, Russia will have to play an active role in promoting global stability. This realization fuels many of Putin's critical comments about the U.S. role in world affairs. Putin believes that the United States is simply not capable of keeping the global system stable. Moreover, if a crisis does happen, the current unipolar system will inevitably result in an attempt by the dominant nation to secure its own interests first, even at the expense of others.
