PTS Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 My better half and I were looking where to go for our December vacation and we wanted to hit up some exotic Caribbean island. Unfortunately, because of flight restrictions on the days we needed to go, we opted to head over the the Pacific Coast of Mexico. The whole ordeal however got me thinking. Why the hell do France and Holland still have colonies in the Caribbean? I think the United States should assume control of these territories. I'm talking about Aruba, Curaco, Martinique, St. Martin, Gualdaloupe and any other Island that doesn't have it's own independance. I don't even think we need to invade these islands. Just send a soldier or two and politely ask the French and Dutch to leave. The only exception is that the UK can keep their Islands for being a good friend. I just don't like the idea of a French run "colony" in this part of the world. I'm also pretty sure that if these colonies rose up, they could probably defeat the French and Dutch armies. If we are the imperial power that everyone says we are, then let's start acting like one. As for invading islands, let's invade Cuba, we shoud have never let that American "property" get away in the first place. It's nicely sized, could easily become a state and would make for a great American vacation destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhonix Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 What would really rock would be taking weekend trips to Havana, in the same way the west coast does with Vegas. Think of it... it's all laid out for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Adding any states would screw up having a nice round number of stars on our flag. Our flag will look stupid with 53 stars on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem solved. 494693[/snapback] No, merge all those blue states in the Northeast into one big blue state. Less room in the Senate for people like Hillary and Chuck.
