new world order 

Something people on the internet love to blab about.

Conspiracy Theorist 1: Did you know that all of Congress wants to move towards a New World Order, and kill 20 million people.
Conspiracy Theorist 2: Wow, I guess we'll have to vote for Ron Paul.

American View of World War II 

Over-simplification of a complex subject.

An analogy would be for a star player who had a good game to claim all the credit after the game and put his team-mates down. Even if the star player did have a great game, all the other members of the team played well and did their part in winning the game -- and helping the star player deliver a great individual performance.

This sort of behaviour (i) is pointless because it relies on speculation about what might have happened had things been different and (ii) displays a real lack of grace, particularly when it is the star player that is doing it.

Many nations (large and small) came together to fight against tyranny during World War II, and their commitment to that cause and their sacrifice was enormous. This is what should be remembered -- not whether one nation's contribution or sacrifice was greater than the others.

"Man, listen to Lance Armstrong claim all the credit for winning 6 Tours de France in a row! You think he'd forgotten there were 8 other guys out there riding for him. What a poor sport! It's just like those guys who bang on and on about the American View of World Ward II"

Note -- this is a stupid example to illustrate the point. Lance is a true sportsman and would never behave this way.

Fourth World

An overview description for a series of interconnected comic books drawn and written by artist Jack Kirby, after leaving Marvel Comics in the 1970's due to his frustration with Marvel management; the books dealt with science fiction and mythological themes; the books were entitled, THE NEW GODS, FOREVER PEOPLE, and MISTER MIRACLE. None of the characters could be described as the sort of conventional 'superheroes' that Kirby and others had created in the past, but the books revolved around the idea of what could be called 'demi-gods', some good, others evil, but technologically and physically advanced over humans - the books dealt with the interaction between the 'good' gods of NEW GENESIS and the 'evil' ones of APOKOLIPS and their eventual contact with earth.

You will find opinions among Jack Kirby fans equally divided about the Fourth World books he did; but the themes are found in works like: Fantastic Four, Chariots of the Gods, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Childhoods' End, More Than Human, Eternals, Forbidden Planet, Dr.Who? .. and too many more to list ..
