    That's simply not possible. They'd have to cross an ocean, and to do that they would first have to conquer "boat technology". Since we're about 500 years more advanced than them technology-wise, by the time they master the boat, we'll probably be watching TV comfortably on Mars.

      I remember in school we learned something about some very advanced nations that couldn't be conquered and, uh, wait they were all conquered? I hope that Europe and America won't be conquered, but I don't think when the whole world is muslimic that America will stand against eternally... Regards, Ingo

        This is a real concern; especially in light of the fact that all these Islamic nations really have it all put together. I've never seen such cooperation on a grand scale! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

          :laugh: Yeah, because your "air defense" (guffaw) is made by such high-tech and stellar companies like EADS[^]. Oh wait...my mistake. Maybe Forgeard took that 2.5 million and pumped it into other areas - like Israeli shells or long-distance A380 flights to evacuate stranded Lebanese. :-O Oops, my mistake...that bird isn't going to be flying for quite some time...maybe they can use something from BAE[^] if they ever sort out that little "incident" with the Saudi's... :laugh: Do you think that's potentially "collusion with the enemy"? I'm just asking is all...because, apparently their military stuff is so good they have to bribe people to buy it. I wonder what Pinochet did with the million plus British pounds BAE gave donated to him?

            No, but seriously. I heard your Eurofighter is a really good airplane. From what I hear, it can hold its own against American F-15's. Nevermind the fact that the F-15 is over 30 years old...

            You should see the Starfighter it was one of the best European planes ever. I just wish that all of them woudln't have crashed at their maiden flight :sigh: :laugh: Well america has better airplanes I think, but we still have the best - em - I don't know what, but I'm sure we have ;) Uh. Perhaps tanks? Or not? I don't know. :-D

            I remember reading a news story out of Britain about 2 years ago. Europe was very proud because a Eurofighter and an F-15 flying over Britain spotted eachother and decided to have some fun with a mock dogfight. Both pilots were impressed and said that the Eurofighter was slightly better than the F-15...But the F-15 is over 30 years old! It's currently being replaced by the F-22[^] which is just supposed to be amazing (an F-15 doesn't stand a chance).

              As long as we possess the will, we cannot be conquered because, unlike previous advanced nations, we have enough nukes to destroy any enemy that is about to overtake us, and we're not afraid to use 'em.

                  2 F22's downed 10+ F-15's in a mock combat. F-15's didn't even see them.

                      To be honest, I really don't think it is a concern either now or in the future... Islam has a multitude of internal problems - not the least of which are the divisions of the different sects. As a culture, they need to grow immensely before they will have any capability of gaining control of other parts of the world.

                              I think you are right. But European politicians are to friendly with islamic fundamentalists. Many years they looked away because of "freedom of religion". Seems to get a little better know, even if we got some "I-will-never-learn-unimportant-what-will-happen"-politicians here. :^)

                                    For UK it's obvious. Bad cookery. Nobody with sense of taste wants to conquer UK. ;)

                                          What - your dope is superior - maybe your cute little uniforms or snazzy little submachine guns ( that jam when dirty ). Surely not your tanks, planes, EW equipment, submarines, carriers ( do you even have any real carriers ), satellites. But hey - those EU troops can march real good. Shirly - you jest. With the exception of certain units in the UK I would place your "stuff" right up there with the Boy Scouts. Richard
