I disagree. The muscle of the world's superpower was powerless to stop the
9-11 attacks. They didn't even have any jet fighters ready to shoot down
the planes. The fighters that were scrambled were Air National Guard jets.

What was Empire's response to the attacks? Since their wonderful armies
and air forces are incapable of fighting assymetrical warfare, they went
over to Afghanistan and bounced the rubble around. They shot off so many
cruise missiles at tents, caves and wedding parties, that they've plain
shot their wad. That's one of the reasons why they aren't ready to invade
Iraq.

I'm sorry, but I see an Empire in decline and one that is incredibly weak
and vulnerable right now.

Watch out for those terrorist scuba divers!
