It is, but it'll be cool if the US has the Imperial March blaring as it bombs the shit out of Iraq.

It would make for some compelling images. I can see a swarm of B-52s roaring over the Mesopotamian plain with the Imperial March blasting in the background. Unfortunately, I gather most normal people regard the Empire as the bad guys in those movies, so playing their march probably won't go over well with John Q. Voter.

Metallica - "Don't Tread On Me"

Plus this also puts folks like Osama and Saddam in the role of Luke Skywalker, which is not quite how we see them, I think.

I'd hate to see Natalie Portman in a burqua.

I say keep hte Star-Spangled Banner as he national anthem, and make the Imperial March the anthem of the army, or something like that.

Of course, I'm assuming this isn't a joke. In that case, I say we write a new national antem, and call it "Suck it, France".

A change in the national anthem would be an interesting move. If it would ever happen I just hope it's something that Madonna won't be able to belt out in a crowd.

Metallicas version of the Imperial March.

Imperial March.

Face it, time for America to reach out and conquor the known world. (At least those countries of value. Sorry France.)

Buy your FRENCH fries to support france(I do) regardless of their lack of military support, I still love france(despite the good-natured france-bashing) and europe in general.

WWI taught french women what it is like to sleep with a winner that doesnt call them Fäulein.

But yes, go Imperial March for national anthem!

Out of the choices, the Imperial March is the best fit but any Texas college fight song seems appropriate about now.

Imp march is so much cooler then the spangled banner.

I never liked Star Spangled Banner, it's sort of... well un-impressive, especially for a superpower. Pling-plong-pling-pling from beginning to end the whole thing.
Where as the Imperial March has more of an effect on the listeners.

A national anthem should inspire pride in a country and have to do with its history. A national anthem should NOT be some sort of song that appeals to the fanboys in love with the military. The Star Spangled Banner can not be replaced. As good as the Imperial March is, it does not fit what America is.

Regardless of what you think of yourselves, the Imperial March tends to fit the way much of the rest of the world thinks America is, though. Truth in advertising and all that...

or does it?

The Imperial March is resevred for use only in the presence of Star Destroyer-esque starships. Until we learn to build mile-long, wedge shaped, neutronium barrels of death (BLESS THAT DAY!), we should stick with Star Spangled Banner.

How about this?

Союз нерушимый республик свободных
Сплотила навеки великая Русь
Да здравствует созданный волей народов
Единый, могучий Советский Союз!

Припев:
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Дружбы народов надежный оплот!
Партия Ленина - сила народная
Нас к торжеству коммунизма ведет!

Сквозь грозы сияло нам солнце свободы,
И Ленин Великий нам путь озарил:
На правое дело он поднял народы,
На труд и на подвиги нас вдохновил!

Припев
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Дружбы народов надежный оплот!
Партия Ленина - сила народная
Нас к торжеству коммунизма ведет!

В победе бессмертных идей коммунизма
Мы видим грядущее нашей страны,
И красному знамени славой отчизны
Мы будем всегда беззаветно верны!

Припев
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Дружбы народов надежный оплот!
Партия Ленина - сила народная
Нас к торжеству коммунизма ведет!

Have a very nice day.
